Quadrature Rules
Latin Hypercube Centered

QUADRATURE_RULES_LATIN_CENTER is a dataset directory which contains examples of Latin Center quadrature rules.

A Latin Square can be generalized to a multidimensional "Latin Hypercube". Latin hypercubes are often used for sparse sampling of multidimensional data, in cases where it is important that each coordinate be sampled at regularly spaced values.

A "centered" Latin Hypercube of order N divides the M-dimensional unit hypercube into N^M smaller hypercubes, and chooses "randomly" the centers of N of these hypercubes, in such a way that the projections of the samples onto any of the M coordinates axes is N equally spaced values.

This sampling method can be used as a simple quadrature method, simply by evaluating the function to be integrated at each of the sample points, and dividing by the number of points. It might be expected that the estimate of the integral is somewhat more accurate than a Monte Carlo estimate, since the sample points are more carefully scattered.

The Centered Latin Hypercube datasets stored here have been packaged as quadrature rules - that is, there is a file of abscissas, a file of weights (all 1/N) and a file that defines the corners of the region. This format allows these datasets to be passed into various programs that expect such a file structure for quadrature rules.
