Abstract: The focus of this paper is to present and discuss new discrepancy measures of uniform designs (UDs) in the two- and three-dimensional spherical design regions B2 and B3. The good lattice point (glp) method is used to construct the UDs in B2 and B3 because it generates good space-filling designs with low discrepancy and designs having small distance-based measures of uniformity. The best UDs were found in B2 and B3 for newly proposed discrepancy criteria. Best UDs based on three distance-based assessment criteria are also included for comparison. Distance-based criteria are alternative measures for design generation in higher-dimensional spherical regions with an example of design generation presented for B4.
Keywords: discrepancy; distance-based criteria; experimental design; glp; good lattice point; spherical design regions; uniformity measures; space-filling uniform designs.
