Hierarchical Latin Hypercube Sampling
2017
Garg, Vikram V. | Stogner, Roy H.
Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) is a robust, scalable Monte Carlo method that is used in many areas of science and engineering. We present a new algorithm for generating hierarchic Latin hypercube sets (HLHS) that are recursively divisible into LHS subsets. Based on this new construction, we introduce a hierarchical incremental LHS (HILHS) method that allows the user to employ LHS in a flexibly incremental setting. This overcomes a drawback of many LHS schemes that require the entire sample set to be selected a priori, or only allow very large increments. We derive the sampling properties for HLHS designs and HILHS estimators. We also present numerical studies that showcase the flexible incrementation offered by HILHS.
