Title: Construction of optimal mixed-level uniform designs
Authors: Liuqing Yang - Central South University (China) [presenting]
Abstract: The theory of uniform design has received increasing interest because of its wide application in the field of computer experiments. The generalized discrete discrepancy is proposed to evaluate the uniformity of the mixed-level factorial design. The aim is to give a lower bound of the generalized discrete discrepancy and provide some construction methods of optimal mixed-level uniform designs which can achieve this lower bound. These methods are all deterministic construction methods which can avoid the complexity of stochastic algorithms. Both saturated mixed-level uniform designs and supersaturated mixed-level uniform designs can be obtained with these methods. Moreover, the resulting designs are also 2-optimal and minimum moment aberration designs.
