Maximum projection designs for computer experiments BY V. ROSHAN JOSEPH, EVREN GUL

چکیده
Space-filling properties are important in designing computer experiments. The traditional maximin and minimax distance designs consider only space-filling in the full-dimensional space; this can result in poor projections onto lower-dimensional spaces, which is undesirable when only a few factors are active. Restricting maximin distance design to the class of Latin hypercubes can improve one-dimensional projections but cannot guarantee good space-filling properties in larger subspaces. We propose designs that maximize space-filling properties on projections to all subsets of factors. We call our designs maximum projection designs. Our design criterion can be computed at no more cost than a design criterion that ignores projection properties.

Limit Kriging
A new kriging predictor is proposed. It gives a better performance over the existing predictor when the constant mean assumption in the kriging model is unreasonable. Moreover, the new predictor seems to be robust to the misspecifications in the correlation parameters. The advantages of the new predictor is demonstrated using some examples from the computer experiments literature.
متن کاملDesign and Analysis of Computer Experiments With Branching and Nested Factors
In many experiments, some of the factors exist only within the level of another factor. Such factors are often called nested factors. A factor within which other factors are nested is called a branching factor. For example, suppose we want to experiment with two processing methods. The factors involved in these two methods can be different. Thus, in this experiment the processing method is a br...
متن کاملFunctionally Induced Priors for the Analysis of Experiments
This work extends and develops the idea of using functional priors for the design and analysis of three and higher level experiments. Developing a prior distribution for model parameters is challenging because a factor can be qualitative or quantitative. We propose appropriate correlation functions and coding schemes so that the prior distribution is simple and the results interpretable. The pr...
متن کاملOrthogonal-maximin Latin Hypercube Designs
A randomly generated Latin hypercube design (LHD) can be quite structured: the variables may be highly correlated or the design may not have good space-filling properties. There are procedures for finding good LHDs by minimizing the pairwise correlations or by maximizing the inter-site distances. In this article we show that these two criteria need not be in close agreement. We propose a multi-...
متن کاملBayesian-inspired mixed two- and four-level designs
Motivated by a Bayesian framework, we propose a new minimum aberration type criterion for designing experiments with twoand four-level factors. The Bayesian approach helps in overcoming the ad hoc nature of effect ordering in the existing minimum aberration type criteria. Moreover, the approach is also capable of distinguishing between qualitative and quantitative factors. Numerous examples are...
