- Summary:
- The Latin Hypercube Sampling, LHS, plan was presented by McKay, Beckman and Conover (Technometrics, 21, 239 - 245(May 1979)) as an alternative to simple random sampling, SRS, in Monte Carlo studies. For each realization of random input vector X, suppose that a computer code produces a scalar output Y = h(X). The referenced paper proves that, when h is monotonic in each of its arguments, some common summary statistics on Y are more efficient under LHS than under SRS. This monotonicity restriction on h excludes some interesting response functions. For example, suppose X is a vector of a mission's sensor measurements, and Y = h(X) is one when the mission is successful and zero otherwise. Function h is not monotonic in a common case; it is not monotonic if success occurs when X is near the true value, and failure occurs when X departs sufficiently from this value in any direction. Conditions on h, general enough to include this setting, are given under which LHS produces more efficient estimates than SRS.
