The minimum aberration criterion is popular for selecting good designs with qualitative factors under an ANOVA model, and the minimum β\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\usepackage{amsmath}\usepackage{wasysym}\usepackage{amsfonts}\usepackage{amssymb}\usepackage{amsbsy}\usepackage{mathrsfs}\usepackage{upgreek}\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt}\begin{document}$$\beta $$\end{document}-aberration criterion is more suitable for selecting designs with quantitative factors under a polynomial model. However, numerous computer experiments involve both qualitative and quantitative factors, while there is a lack of a reasonable criterion to assess the effectiveness of such designs. This paper proposes some important properties of the β\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\usepackage{amsmath}\usepackage{wasysym}\usepackage{amsfonts}\usepackage{amssymb}\usepackage{amsbsy}\usepackage{mathrsfs}\usepackage{upgreek}\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt}\begin{document}$$\beta $$\end{document}-wordlength pattern for mixed-level designs, and introduces the minimum θ\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\usepackage{amsmath}\usepackage{wasysym}\usepackage{amsfonts}\usepackage{amssymb}\usepackage{amsbsy}\usepackage{mathrsfs}\usepackage{upgreek}\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt}\begin{document}$$\theta $$\end{document}-aberration criterion for comparing and selecting designs with qualitative and quantitative factors based on a full model involving all interactions of the factors. The computation of the θ\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\usepackage{amsmath}\usepackage{wasysym}\usepackage{amsfonts}\usepackage{amssymb}\usepackage{amsbsy}\usepackage{mathrsfs}\usepackage{upgreek}\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt}\begin{document}$$\theta $$\end{document}-wordlength pattern is optimized by the generalized wordlength enumerator.

Computer experiments play a crucial role when physical experiments are expensive or difficult to be carried out. As a kind of designs for computer experiments, maximin distance designs have been widely studied. Many existing methods for obtaining maximin distance designs are based on stochastic algorithms, and these methods will be infeasible when the run size or number of factors is large. In this paper, we propose some deterministic construction methods for maximin L 2 -distance designs in two to five dimensions based on densest packings. The resulting designs have large L 2 -distances and are mirror-symmetric. Some of them have the same L 2 -distances as the existing optimal maximin distance designs, and some of the others are completely new. Especially, the resulting 2-dimensional designs possess a good projection property. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
