Abstract: Space-filling properties are important in designing computer experiments. In this talk, first I will review the popular space-filling designs such as Latin hypercube, uniform, maximin, and minimax designs. Then, I will present a useful design known as maximum projection design in detail. Application of these designs in computer experiments, Bayesian computation, and model calibration will be illustrated with several examples.
