Sequential good lattice point sets for computer experiments
share
Sequential Latin hypercube designs have recently received great attention for computer experiments. Much of the work has been restricted to invariant spaces. The related systematic construction methods are inflexible while algorithmic methods are ineffective for large designs. For such designs in space contraction, systematic construction methods have not been investigated yet. This paper proposes a new method for constructing sequential Latin hypercube designs via good lattice point sets in a variety of experimental spaces. These designs are called sequential good lattice point sets. Moreover, we provide fast and efficient approaches for identifying the (nearly) optimal sequential good lattice point sets under a given criterion. Combining with the linear level permutation technique, we obtain a class of asymptotically optimal sequential Latin hypercube designs in invariant spaces where the L_1-distance in each stage is either optimal or asymptotically optimal. Numerical results demonstrate that the sequential good lattice point set has a better space-filling property than the existing sequential Latin hypercube designs in the invariant space. It is also shown that the sequential good lattice point sets have less computational complexity and more adaptability.
