latinize

latinize, a C++ code which adjusts an M dimensional dataset of N points so that it forms a Latin hypercube.

On output, each row of the table will have the properties that:

  1. the minimum and maximum row values are the same as on input;
  2. the row contains N evenly spaced values between the minimum and maximum.
  3. in each row, the elements retain their ordering.
