Generalized sliced space-filling design
摘要
Sliced space-filling designs are effective for computer experiments with both qualitative and quantitative variables, maintaining space-filling properties in the full design of quantitative variables and within each subdesign partitioned by qualitative variables. However, non-uniform designs like generalized Latin hypercube designs can offer superior predictive accuracy. Inspired by this, we propose a generalized sliced space-filling design based on a hybrid weighted energy distance criterion. One-shot and sequential construction algorithms are developed. Numerical studies show that the proposed design provides greater flexibility in run size and experimental region, while achieving better predictive performance.
