Coverage
Description
Compute the coverage measure
Usage
coverage(design)
Arguments
design |
a matrix (or a data.frame) representing the design of experiments representing the design of experiments in the unit cube [0,1] |
Details
The coverage criterion is defined by
coverage=\frac{1}{\bar{\gamma}} \left[ \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n}
\left( \gamma_{i} - \bar{\gamma} \right)^2 \right]^{1/2}
where \gamma_{i}
is the minimal distance between the point x_{i}
and the other points of the design
and \bar{\gamma}
is
the mean of the \gamma_{i}
.
Note that for a regular mesh, cov
=0. Then, a small value of cov
means that the design is close to a regular grid.
Value
A real number equal to the value of the coverage criterion for the design
.
