Summary: We consider a cubic regression model for mixture experiments and discuss the improvement of designs in terms of increasing symmetry (Kiefer ordering) as well as obtaining a larger moment matrix under the standard Loewner ordering. The key problem is the characterization of Loewner comparability of invariant moment matrices. This problem is solved using concepts from representation theory. Our investigation yields two results on complete classes of designs relative to the Kiefer ordering.
