We introduce a class of convex equivolume partitions. Expected star discrepancy results are compared for stratified samples under these partitions, including simple random samples. There are four main parts of our results. First, among…
We study the expected star discrepancy under a newly designed class of non-equal volume partitions. The main contributions are twofold. First, we establish a strong partition principle for the star discrepancy, showing that our newly…
We present two main contributions to the expected star discrepancy theory. First, we derive a sharper expected upper bound for jittered sampling, improving the leading constants and logarithmic terms compared to the state-of-the-art [Doerr,…
We compare expected star discrepancy under jittered sampling with simple random sampling, and the strong partition principle for the star discrepancy is proved.
We introduce a class of convex equivolume partitions. Expected $L_2-$discrepancy are discussed under these partitions. There are two main results. First, under this kind of partitions, we generate random point sets with smaller expected…
We extend the notion of jittered sampling to arbitrary partitions and study the discrepancy of the related point sets. Let $\mathbf{\Omega}=(\Omega_1,\ldots,\Omega_N)$ be a partition of $[0,1]^d$ and let the $i$th point in $\mathcal{P}$ be…
For $m, d \in {\mathbb N}$, a jittered sampling point set $P$ having $N = m^d$ points in $[0,1)^d$ is constructed by partitioning the unit cube $[0,1)^d$ into $m^d$ axis-aligned cubes of equal size and then placing one point independently…
We study the discrepancy of jittered sampling sets: such a set $\mathcal{P} \subset [0,1]^d$ is generated for fixed $m \in \mathbb{N}$ by partitioning $[0,1]^d$ into $m^d$ axis aligned cubes of equal measure and placing a random point…
Classical jittered sampling partitions $[0,1]^d$ into $m^d$ cubes for a positive integer $m$ and randomly places a point inside each of them, providing a point set of size $N=m^d$ with small discrepancy. The aim of this note is to provide a…
We study the expected $ L_2-$discrepancy under two classes of partitions, explicit and exact formulas are derived respectively. These results attain better expected $L_2-$discrepancy formulas than jittered sampling.
In this paper, we consider the upper bound of the probabilistic star discrepancy based on Hilbert space filling curve sampling. This problem originates from the multivariate integral approximation, but the main result removes the strict…
We prove that classical jittered sampling of the $d$-dimensional unit cube does not yield the smallest expected $\mathcal{L}_2$-discrepancy among all stratified samples with $N=m^d$ points. Our counterexample can be given explicitly and…
We present a new algorithm for estimating the star discrepancy of arbitrary point sets. Similar to the algorithm for discrepancy approximation of Winker and Fang [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 34 (1997), 2028--2042] it is based on the optimization…
For $m, d \in \mathbb{N}$, a jittered sample of $N=m^d$ points can be constructed by partitioning $[0,1]^d$ into $m^d$ axis-aligned equivolume boxes and placing one point independently and uniformly at random inside each box. We utilise a…
We provide probabilistic lower bounds for the star discrepancy of Latin hypercube samples. These bounds are sharp in the sense that they match the recent probabilistic upper bounds for the star discrepancy of Latin hypercube samples proved…
We study the expected $\mathcal{L}_2$-discrepancy of stratified samples generated from special equi-volume partitions of the unit square. The partitions are defined via parallel lines that are all orthogonal to the diagonal of the square.…
By a result of Heinrich, Novak, Wasilkowski and Wo\'zniakowski the inverse of the star discrepancy $n(d,\varepsilon)$ satisfies $n(d,\varepsilon)\leq c_{\abs}d\varepsilon^{-2}$. Equivalently for any $N$ and $d$ there exists a set of $N$…
Jittered Sampling is a refinement of the classical Monte Carlo sampling method. Instead of picking $n$ points randomly from $[0,1]^2$, one partitions the unit square into $n$ regions of equal measure and then chooses a point randomly from…
We study some notions of negative dependence of a sampling scheme that can be used to derive variance bounds for the corresponding estimator or discrepancy bounds for the underlying random point set that are at least as good as the…
In this paper we propose an acceptance-rejection sampler using stratified inputs as diver sequence. We estimate the discrepancy of the points generated by this algorithm. First we show an upper bound on the star discrepancy of order…
