R: Mindist measure

mindist {DiceDesign} | R Documentation

## Mindist measure

### Description

Compute the `mindist` criterion (also called maximin)

### Usage

    mindist(design)

### Arguments

`design` | a matrix (or a data.frame) representing the design of experiments in the unit cube [0,1]^d. If this last condition is not fulfilled, a transformation into [0,1]^{d} is applied before the computation of the criteria.

### Details

The mindist criterion is defined by

mindist = min (g_1, ... g_n)

where g_i is the minimal distance between the point x_i and the other points x_k of the `design`.

A higher value corresponds to a more regular scaterring of design points.

### Value

A real number equal to the value of the mindist criterion for the `design`.
