Abstract

Latin hypercube sampling (LHS), which can be viewed as an extension of stratified sampling to multiple dimensions, is a variance-reduction technique that increases statistical efficiency by inducing correlation among the outputs. We use a method known as sectioning to develop confidence intervals for quantiles when applying replicated Latin hypercube sampling (rLHS). Both two-sided and one-sided confidence intervals are given, and the intervals are asymptotically valid. One application of the technique is for uncertainty and safety analyses of nuclear power plants.
