Latin hypercube sampling is widely used in industrial engineering. In the traditional Latin square sampling, engineers often arrange sample points in the feasible domain uniformly. However, in practice, engineers may have some prior information about the sub-domains where the response volatility is relatively large, named the interesting sub-domains. In order to make full use of these information, this paper employed the D-S evidence theory to fuse prior information from different sources/fields. Then we divide the feasible domain into different sub-domains and indicate the interesting sub-domains. For the sample placement, we put more points in these interesting sub-domains and less points in other sub-domains. Finally, we construct the model with the proposed sample points placement approach based on prior information. A case study was conducted to illustrate the proposed method. The case study shows that the proposed method performs better than the traditional model in MSE, MaxE and StdE.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
