Title: Some New Developments in the Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments
Author(s): Derek R. Bingham*+ and Crystal Linkletter and David Higdon and Nicolas Hengartner

Keywords: Bayesian variable selection ; model calibration ; screening experiments ; spatial process
Abstract:

The design and analysis of experiments continues to make important and far reaching contributions to scientific investigation. The rapid growth in computing power has made the computational simulation of complex systems feasible and helped avoid more physical experimentation. Consequently, the design and analysis of computer experiments has become an integral part in the exploration of scientific and industrial processes. This talk has two main features: new approaches to identifying important factors in computer experiments are introduced and their impact on design selection is discussed, and the research goals of the NPCDS initiative on computer experiments will be described.
