In case of nonlinear Takagi-Sugeno models either non-model-based experiment design or OED restricted to the local model parameters has been examined. This article proposes a joint design of local model and partition parameters that bases on the Fisher Information Matrix (FIM). For this purpose, a symbolic description of the joint FIM is derived. Its heterogeneous structure can make it badly conditioned, complicating computation of the determinant for D-optimal design. This problem is relaxed using determinant decomposition. A theoretical analysis and a case study show that experiment design for local model and partition parameters may significantly differ from each other.
