Latin hypercube designs (LHDs) with space-filling properties are widely used for emulating computer simulators. Over the last three decades, a wide spectrum of LHDs have been proposed with space-filling criteria like minimum correlation among factors, maximin interpoint distance, and...

A method for constructing asymmetrical (mixed-level) designs, satisfying the balancing and interaction estimability requirements with a number of runs as small as possible, is proposed in this paper. The method, based on a heuristic procedure, uses a new optimality criterion formulated here. The...
