Hammersley

Hammersley sampling belongs to the category of quasi-Monte Carlo methods. This technique uses a quasi-random number generator, based on the Hammersley points, to uniformly sample a unit hypercube.

Usability Characteristics

  • An efficient sampling method that provides reliable estimates of output statistics using fewer samples than random sampling.
  • A correlation structure can be specified to reflect the correlation existing between random variables. Applying a correlation structure can be costly for a large number of input variables.
