Figure 1 - Latin Hypercube Sampling Crossed

Description:

If a categorical scenario factor occurs in the simulation study - for example, different forklift combinations or layout variations - crossed Latin Hypercube Sampling should be used.

This generates a sampling for the numerical factors and combines each of these points with the scenario possibilities.

The figure on the right shows the situation of two factors crossed with a scenario factor with three values.

This allows different scenarios to be analyzed.

The properties and functions of the normal Latin Hypercube Sampling remain the same.

Parametrization:

Skip/generate duplicates:

If duplicates (already created experiments with the same parametrization) are found when generating the experiments, they will either be skipped or a duplicate to the already existing experiment will be created and added to the experiment list, depending on the setting.

numExperimente:

By arrow keys or input the number of experiments can be parametrized.

SzenarioFaktor:

Via a drop down the factor can be selected from the available columns.
