R: Maximum Entropy Designs

dmaxDesign {DiceDesign} | R Documentation

## Maximum Entropy Designs

### Description

Space-Filling Designs with n experiments based on covariance matrix in [0,1]^d.

### Usage

    dmaxDesign(n, dimension, range, niter_max=1000, seed=NULL)

### Arguments

`n` | number of experiments
`dimension` | number of variables
`range` | range of variogram
`niter_max` | number of iterations
`seed` | seed used to generate uniform design

### Details

Maximum entropy design is a kind of optimal design based on Shannon's definition of entropy as the amount of information. Originally, maximum entropy sampling was proposed by Shewry and Wynn (1987). The goal of the design is to maximize the entropy defined as the determinant of the correlation matrix using a Fedorov-Mitchell exchange algorithm.

The spatial correlation matrix is defined by C=(r[i,j]):

r[i,j]=1-gamma(h[i,j]) | if h[i,j] <=a,
r[i,j]=0 | if if h_{ij}>a,

where h[i,j] is the distance between xi and xj, a denotes the range of the variogram and gamma is a spherical variogram:

gamma(h)= 1.5*(h/a)- 0.5*(h/a)^3 for h>=a.

### Value

A list with components:

`n` | the number of points
`design` | the design of experiments
`dimension` | the number of variables
`range` | the range of the variogram
`niter_mx` | the number of iterations
`design_init` | the initial distribution
`det_init` | the value of the determinant for the initial distribution
`det_end` | the value of the determinant at the end of the procedure
`seed` | the value of the seed

### Examples

    n <- 20
    dimension <- 2
    range <-0.9
    niter_max <- 200
    out <- dmaxDesign(n, dimension, range, niter_max)

    ## Change the dimnames, adjust to range (-10, 10) and round to 2 digits
    xDRDN(out, letter = "T", dgts = 2, range = c(-10, 10))
