Consider an experiment for comparing a set of treatments: in each trial, one treatment is chosen and its effect determines the mean response of the trial. We examine the optimal approximate designs for the estimation of a system of treatment contrasts under this model. These designs can be used to provide optimal treatment proportions in more general models with nuisance effects. For any system of pairwise treatment comparisons, we propose to represent such a system by a graph. Then, we represent the designs by the inverses of the vertex weights in the corresponding graph and we show that the values of the eigenvalue-based optimality criteria can be expressed using the Laplacians of the vertex-weighted graphs. We provide a graph theoretic interpretation of D-, A- and E-optimality for estimating sets of pairwise comparisons. We apply the obtained graph representation to provide optimality results for these criteria as well as for ’symmetric’ systems of treatment contrasts.
