Abstract
Latin Hypercube Design (LHD) is a traditional method of Design Of Experiments (DOE) and is often employed in system analysis. However, this method imposes restriction on experiment trials and needs much computation capacity to obtain the optimal design. A novel experiment design method called ETPLHD is proposed in this paper to solve this problem. ETPLHD can control the number of design points and thus presents more flexibility to control the number of experiment trails, which is more efficient compared to the fixed experiment trails in the traditional LHD method for a same design space. An experiment was conducted to compare ETPLHD with the other two experiment design algorithms. The results showed that TPLHD reveals high design performance and less time consumption.
