Draws a Latin Hypercube Sample from a set of uniform distributions for use in creating a Latin Hypercube Design. This function attempts to optimize the sample by maximizing the minium distance between design points (maximin criteria).

An n
by k
Latin Hypercube Sample matrix with values uniformly distributed on [0,1]
The number of partitions (simulations or design points or rows)
The number of replications (variables or columns)
build
or iterative
is the method of LHS creation.
build
finds the next best point while constructing the LHS.
iterative
optimizes the resulting sample on [0,1] or sample grid on [1,N]
A factor that determines the number of candidate points used in the
search. A multiple of the number of remaining points than can be
added. This is used when method="build"
The minimum percent change in the minimum distance used in the
iterative
method
The maximum number of iterations to use in the iterative
method
grid
or result
gives the basis of the optimization.
grid
optimizes the LHS on the underlying integer grid.
result
optimizes the resulting sample on [0,1]
prints additional information about the process of the optimization
Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) was developed to generate a distribution
of collections of parameter values from a multidimensional distribution.
A square grid containing possible sample points is a Latin square iff there
is only one sample in each row and each column. A Latin hypercube is the
generalisation of this concept to an arbitrary number of dimensions. When
sampling a function of k
variables, the range of each variable is divided
into n
equally probable intervals. n
sample points are then drawn such that a
Latin Hypercube is created. Latin Hypercube sampling generates more efficient
estimates of desired parameters than simple Monte Carlo sampling.
This program generates a Latin Hypercube Sample by creating random permutations
of the first n
integers in each of k
columns and then transforming those
integers into n sections of a standard uniform distribution. Random values are
then sampled from within each of the n sections. Once the sample is generated,
the uniform sample from a column can be transformed to any distribution by
using the quantile functions, e.g. qnorm(). Different columns can have
different distributions.
Here, values are added to the design one by one such that the maximin criteria is satisfied.
