In this paper polynomial growth curve models with correlated errors are considered. We study A-, D- and E-optimal designs for quadratic and cubic growth curve models with three and four time points on the time interval [0,2]. Optimal designs for four correlation structures of errors are compared: nearest-neighbor, autoregression, moving average and unstructured antedependence.
