Theory of Latin Hypercube Sampling

For the technical basis of Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) and Latin Hypercube Designs (LHD) please see: Stein, Michael. Large Sample Properties of Simulations Using Latin Hypercube Sampling Technometrics, Vol 28, No 2, 1987. McKay, MD, et.al. A Comparison of Three Methods for Selecting Values of Input Variables in the Analysis of Output from a Computer Code Technometrics, Vol 21, No 2, 1979.

This package was created to bring these designs to R and to implement many of the articles that followed on optimized sampling methods.

Create a Simple LHS

Basic LHS's are created using randomLHS.

# set the seed for reproducibility
set.seed(1111)
# a design with 5 samples from 4 parameters
A <- randomLHS(5, 4) 
A

In general, the LHS is uniform on the margins until transformed (r registerFigure("X")):

r addFigureCaption("X", "Two dimensions of a Uniform random LHS with 5 samples", register=FALSE)

graph2dLHS(A[,1:2])

It is common to transform the margins of the design (the columns) into other distributions (r registerFigure("Y"))

B <- matrix(nrow = nrow(A), ncol = ncol(A))
B[,1] <- qnorm(A[,1], mean = 0, sd = 1)
B[,2] <- qlnorm(A[,2], meanlog = 0.5, sdlog = 1)
B[,3] <- A[,3]
B[,4] <- qunif(A[,4], min = 7, max = 10)
B

r addFigureCaption("Y", "Two dimensions of a transformed random LHS with 5 samples", register=FALSE)

f <- function(x){qnorm(x)}
g <- function(x){qlnorm(x, meanlog = 0.5, sdlog = 1)}
graph2dLHSTransform(B[,1:2], f, g, -4, 4, 0, 8)

Optimizing the Design

The LHS can be optimized using a number of methods in the lhs package. Each method attempts to improve on the random design by ensuring that the selected points are as uncorrelated and space filling as possible. r registerTable("tab1") shows some results. r registerFigure("Z"), r registerFigure("W"), and r registerFigure("G") show corresponding plots.

set.seed(101)
A <- randomLHS(30, 10)
A1 <- optimumLHS(30, 10, maxSweeps = 4, eps = 0.01)
A2 <- maximinLHS(30, 10, dup = 5)
A3 <- improvedLHS(30, 10, dup = 5)
A4 <- geneticLHS(30, 10, pop = 1000, gen = 8, pMut = 0.1, criterium = "S")
A5 <- geneticLHS(30, 10, pop = 1000, gen = 8, pMut = 0.1, criterium = "Maximin")

r addTableCaption("tab1", "Sample results and metrics of various LHS algorithms", register=FALSE)

Method | Min Distance btwn pts | Mean Distance btwn pts | Max Correlation btwn pts :-----|:-----:|:-----:|:-----: randomLHS | r min(dist(A)) | r mean(dist(A)) | r max(abs(cor(A)-diag(10))) optimumLHS | r min(dist(A1)) | r mean(dist(A1)) | r max(abs(cor(A1)-diag(10))) maximinLHS | r min(dist(A2)) | r mean(dist(A2)) | r max(abs(cor(A2)-diag(10))) improvedLHS | r min(dist(A3)) | r mean(dist(A3)) | r max(abs(cor(A3)-diag(10))) geneticLHS (S) | r min(dist(A4)) | r mean(dist(A4)) | r max(abs(cor(A4)-diag(10))) geneticLHS (Maximin) | r min(dist(A5)) | r mean(dist(A5)) | r max(abs(cor(A5)-diag(10)))


r addFigureCaption("Z", "Pairwise margins of a randomLHS", register=FALSE)

pairs(A, pch = 19, col = "blue", cex = 0.5)

r addFigureCaption("W", "Pairwise margins of a optimumLHS", register=FALSE)

pairs(A1, pch = 19, col = "blue", cex = 0.5)

r addFigureCaption("G", "Pairwise margins of a maximinLHS", register=FALSE)

pairs(A2, pch = 19, col = "blue", cex = 0.5)
