This paper considers the optimal design for the frailty model with discrete-time survival endpoints in longitudinal studies. We introduce the random effects into the discrete hazard models to account for the heterogeneity between experimental subjects, which causes the observations of the same subject at the sequential time points being correlated. We propose a general design method to collect the survival endpoints as inexpensively and efficiently as possible. A cost-based generalized D ([Formula see text])-optimal design criter
