Space-Filling Designs
 
Space-filling designs are useful in situations where run-to-run variability is of far less concern than the form of the model. Consider a sensitivity study of a computer simulation model. In this situation, and for any mechanistic or deterministic modeling problem, any variability is small enough to be ignored. For systems with no variability, replication, randomization, and blocking are irrelevant.
The Space Filling platform provides designs for situations with both continuous and categorical factors. For continuous factors, space-filling designs have two objectives:
•
maximize the distance between any two design points
•
space the points uniformly
