<WRAP centeralign>**Abstract**</WRAP>
Systems with both quantitative and qualitative responses are widely encountered in many applications. Design of experiment methods are needed when experiments are conducted to study such systems. Classic experimental design methods are unsuitable here because they
often focus on one type of response. In this paper, we develop a Bayesian D-optimal design
method for experiments with one continuous and one binary response. Both noninformative and
conjugate informative prior distributions on the unknown parameters are considered. The proposed design criterion has meaningful interpretations regarding the D-optimality for the models for both types of responses. An efficient point-exchange search algorithm is developed to construct the local D-optimal designs for given parameter values. Global D-optimal designs are obtained by accumulating the frequencies of the design points in local D-optimal designs, where the parameters are sampled from the prior distributions. The performances of the proposed methods are evaluated through two examples. This is a published paper in The New England Journal of Statistics in Data Science as Kang et al. (2023).
