Space-Filling Designs in Nonrectangular Regions

Abstract:

Space-filling designs allow for exploration of responses with many different settings for each input factor. While much research has been done using rectangular design spaces, it is not uncommon to have constraints on the design region where some combinations are impossible or undesirable to run. We present an intuitive method for quickly generating space-filling designs that have the flexibility to handle nonrectangular design regions. We also show that these designs can accommodate categorical factors.
