 The theory of experimental design \cite{pukelsheim2006optimal,atkinson2007optimum}  studies how an experimenter \E\  should select the parameters of a set of experiments she is about to conduct. In general, the optimality of a particular design depends on the purpose of the experiment, \emph{i.e.}, the quantity \E\  is trying to learn or the hypothesis she is trying to validate. Due to their ubiquity in statistical analysis, a large literature on the subject focuses on learning \emph{linear models}, where \E\ wishes to  fit  a linear map to the data she has collected.
 
 More precisely, putting cost considerations aside, suppose that \E\ wishes to conduct $k$ among $n$ possible experiments. Each experiment $i\in\mathcal{N}\defeq \{1,\ldots,n\}$ is associated with a set of parameters (or features) $x_i\in \reals^d$, normalized so that $\|x_i\|_2\leq 1$. Denote by $S\subseteq \mathcal{N}$, where $|S|=k$, the set of experiments selected; upon its execution, experiment $i\in S$ reveals an output variable (the ``measurement'') $y_i$,  related to the experiment features $x_i$ through a linear function, \emph{i.e.},
-\begin{align}
-     y_i = \T{\beta} x_i + \varepsilon_i,\quad\forall i\in\mathcal{N},\label{model}
+\begin{align}\label{model}
+     \forall i\in\mathcal{N},\quad y_i = \T{\beta} x_i + \varepsilon_i
 \end{align}
-where $\beta$ a vector in $\reals^d$, commonly referred to as the \emph{model}, and $\varepsilon_i$ (the \emph{measurement noise}) are independent, normally distributed random  variables with mean 0 and variance $\sigma^2$.

 The purpose of these experiments is to allow \E\  to estimate the model $\beta$. In particular, under \eqref{model}, the maximum likelihood estimator of $\beta$ is the \emph{least squares} estimator: for $X_S=[x_i]_{i\in S}\in \reals^{|S|\times d}$ the matrix of experiment features and
 $y_S=[y_i]_{i\in S}\in\reals^{|S|}$ the observed measurements,
