A new class of Latin hypercube designs with high-dimensional hidden projective uniformity

Latin hypercube design is a good choice for computer experiments. In this paper, we construct a new class of Latin hypercube designs with some high-dimensional hidden projective uniformity. The construction is based on a new class of orthogonal arrays of strength two which contain higher strength orthogonal arrays after their levels are collapsed. As a result, the obtained Latin hypercube designs achieve higher-dimensional uniformity when projected onto the columns corresponding to higher strength orthogonal arrays, as well as twodimensional projective uniformity. Simulation study shows that the constructed Latin hypercube designs are significantly superior to the currently used designs in terms of the times of correctly identifying the significant effects.

And some uniform OALHDs are con- structed by using our method.

A Note on the Construction of Orthogonal Latin Hypercube Designs

Latin hypercube designs have been found very useful for designing computer experiments. In recent years, several methods of constructing orthogonal Latin hypercube designs have been proposed in the literature. In this article, we report some more results on the construction of orthogonal Latin hypercubes which result in several new designs.     

Flexible sliced designs for computer experiments

Sliced Latin hypercube designs are popularly adopted for computer experiments with qualitative factors. Previous constructions require the sizes of different slices to be identical. Here we construct sliced designs with flexible sizes of slices. Besides achieving desirable one-dimensional uniformity, flexible sliced designs (FSDs) constructed in this paper accommodate arbitrary sizes for different slices and cover ordinary sliced Latin hypercube designs as special cases. The sampling properties of FSDs are derived and a central limit theorem is established. It shows that any linear combination of the sample means from different models on slices follows an asymptotic normal distribution. Some simulations compare FSDs with other sliced designs in collective evaluations of multiple computer models.     

投影均匀分片拉丁超立方体设计

空间填充设计是有效的计算机试验设计,比如均匀设计、最大最小距离拉丁超立方体设计等.虽然这些设计在整个试验空间中有较好的均匀性,但其低维投影均匀性可能并不理想.对于因子是定量的计算机试验,已有文献构造了诸如最大投影设计、均匀投影设计等相适应的设计;而对于同时含有定性因子和定量因子的计算机试验,尚未有投影均匀设计的相关文献.文章提出了综合投影均匀准则,利用门限接受算法构造了投影均匀的分片拉丁超立方体设计.在新构造设计中,整体设计与每一片设计均具有良好的投影均匀性.模拟结果显示,与随机分片拉丁超立方体设计相比,利用新构造设计进行试验而拟合的高斯过程模型具有更小的均方根预测误差.

Two-dimensional minimax Latin hypercube designs

We investigate minimax Latin hypercube designs in two dimensions for several distance measures. For the ?^∞-distance we are able to construct minimax Latin hypercube designs of n points, and to determine the minimal covering radius, for all n. For the ?¹-distance we have a lower bound for the covering radius, and a construction of minimax Latin hypercube designs for (infinitely) many values of n. We conjecture that the obtained lower bound is attained, except for a few small (known) values of n. For the ?²-distance we have generated minimax solutions up to n=27 by an exhaustive search method. The latter Latin hypercube designs are included in the website www.spacefillingdesigns.nl.

Construction of sliced (nearly) orthogonal Latin hypercube designs

Sliced Latin hypercube designs are very useful for running a computer model in batches, ensembles of multiple computer models, computer experiments with qualitative and quantitative factors, cross-validation and data pooling. However, the presence of highly correlated columns makes the data analysis intractable. In this paper, a construction method for sliced (nearly) orthogonal Latin hypercube designs is developed. The resulting designs have flexible sizes and most are new. With the orthogonality or near orthogonality being guaranteed, the space-filling property of the resulting designs is also improved. Examples are provided for illustrating the proposed method.     

Optimization of a large-scale water reservoir network by stochastic dynamic programming with efficient state space discretization

A numerical solution to a 30-dimensional water reservoir network optimization problem, based on stochastic dynamic programming, is presented. In such problems the amount of water to be released from each reservoir is chosen to minimize a nonlinear cost (or maximize benefit) function while satisfying proper constraints. Experimental results show how dimensionality issues, given by the large number of basins and realistic modeling of the stochastic inflows, can be mitigated by employing neural approximators for the value functions, and efficient discretizations of the state space, such as orthogonal arrays, Latin hypercube designs and low-discrepancy sequences.

Optimal balanced 27 fractional factorial designs of resolutionV,withN≦42

Summary In this paper, we present a class of fractional factorial designs of the 2⁷ series, which are of resolutionV. Such designs allow the estimation of the general mean, the main effects and the two factors interactions (29 parameters in all for the 2⁷ factorial) assuming that the higher order effects are negligible. For every value ofN (the number of runs) such that 29≦N≦42, we give a resolutionV design that is optimal (with respect to the trace criterion) within the subclass of balanced designs. Also, for convenience of analysis, we present for each design, the covariance matrix of the estimates of the various parameters. As a by product, we establish many interesting combinatorial theorems concerning balanced arrays of strength four (which are generalizations of orthogonal arrays of strength four, and also of balanced incomplete block designs with block sizes not necessarily equal).

Metamodeling: Radial basis functions,versus polynomials

For many years, metamodels have been used in simulation to provide approximations to the input–output functions provided by a simulation model. In this paper, metamodels based on radial basis functions are applied to approximate test functions known from the literature. These tests were conducted to gain insights into the behavior of these metamodels, their ease of computation and their ability to capture the shape and minima of the test functions. These metamodels are compared against polynomial metamodels by using surface and contour graphs of the error function (difference between metamodel and the given function) and by evaluating the numerical stability of the required computations. Full factorial and Latin hypercube designs were used to fit the metamodels. Graphical and statistical methods were used to analyze the test results. Factorial designs were generally more successful for fitting the test functions as compared to Latin hypercube designs. Radial basis function metamodels using factorial and Latin hypercube designs provided better fit than polynomial metamodels using full factorial designs.     

Generating and improving orthogonal designs by using mixed integer programming

Analysts faced with conducting experiments involving quantitative factors have a variety of potential designs in their portfolio. However, in many experimental settings involving discrete-valued factors (particularly if the factors do not all have the same number of levels), none of these designs are suitable.In this paper, we present a mixed integer programming (MIP) method that is suitable for constructing orthogonal designs, or improving existing orthogonal arrays, for experiments involving quantitative factors with limited numbers of levels of interest. Our formulation makes use of a novel linearization of the correlation calculation.The orthogonal designs we construct do not satisfy the definition of an orthogonal array, so we do not advocate their use for qualitative factors. However, they do allow analysts to study, without sacrificing balance or orthogonality, a greater number of quantitative factors than it is possible to do with orthogonal arrays which have the same number of runs.

Wrap-Around L2-Discrepancy of Random Sampling, Latin Hypercube and Uniform Designs

For comparing random designs and Latin hypercube designs, this paper con- siders a wrap-around version of the L₂-discrepancy (WD). The theoretical expectation and variance of this discrepancy are derived for these two designs. The expectation and variance of Latin hypercube designs are significantly lower than those of the corresponding random designs. We also study construction of the uniform design under the WD and show that one-dimensional uniform design under this discrepancy can be any set of equidistant points. For high dimensional uniform designs we apply the threshold accepting heuristic for finding low discrepancy designs. We also show that the conjecture proposed by K. T. Fang, D. K. J. Lin, P. Winker, and Y. Zhang (2000, Technometrics) is true under the WD when the design is complete.
