In FSSF: Generate Fully-Sequential Space-Filling Designs Inside a Unit Hypercube

Description

Produces a random fully-sequential design (a nested sequence of designs with points added one at a time) inside a unit hypercube such that the largest distance between any point inside the unit hypercube to its closest design point is as small as possible (Shang and Apley, 2019). The "fr" stands for "forward reflected", since the algorithm uses a modification of the criterion used in the fssf-f algorithm.

Usage

	fssf_fr(d, nMax, N=-1, Preference = "minimax", ScaleVector = NULL, Dinit = NULL)

Arguments

d	The dimension of the design space.
nMax	The largest design size required by the user.
N	Size of the candidate set used to generate the design points. -1 corresponds to the default setting, and the candidate set size will be calculated as 1000d+2nMax. Using large N will make the design more space-filling, but will slow down the program.
Preference	Choosing Preference as "minimax" will produce a design that leaves small holes in the design space, especially for the early design points, with the cost that design points may be closer to each other than the other option. Choosing Preference as "maximin" will produce a design that leaves a little larger holes than the other option, but the design points will be further away from each other.
ScaleVector	Array of the lengthscale parameters of different inputs. Default is NULL, which corresponds to the ScaleVector being a unit vector of length d. When ScaleVector is not NULL, for instance, ScaleVector is (θ_1, \cdots, θ_d), the distance between point (x_1, \cdots, x_d) and point (y_1, \cdots, y_d) will be computed as ∑_{j=1}^{d} {\Big( \frac{y_j - x_j}{θ_j} \Big)}^2
Dinit	Numerical Matrix with n_{init} rows and d columns, where n_{init} is a user-specified parameter. This is an optional initial design with size n_{init} provided by the user. Default is NULL, which corresponds to no initial design. If Dinit is not NULL, then the algorithm will select nMax additional design points taking into account of this initial design.

Value

A nMax x d matrix with the i-th row corresponding to the i-th design point.
