Abstract:
A computing device generates representative points, each representing a potential design point for a design space. The computing device determines for the design space primary clusters, a categorical factor, and at least two levels for the categorical factor. The computing device, for each of the primary clusters, selects a design point from each sub-cluster of the respective primary cluster. The computing device, for each of the primary clusters, allocates the at least two levels of the categorical factor, such that a level of the at least two levels is allocated to each selected design point in the respective primary cluster. The computing device modifies an initial sub-design that represents the selected design points allocated a given level of the categorical factor by increasing separation between design points allocated a same level of the categorical factor. The computing device outputs to an output device a modified design for the design space.

Claim (Index 21):
The method of  claim 19 , wherein the modifying the initial sub-design comprises:\n obtaining an initial average representing separation of design points in the design space by:\n for each of the at least two levels of the categorical factor, computing a second criterion representing separation between design points allocated a same level in the design space to obtain a plurality of computed second criterion, one for each of the at least two levels of the categorical factor; and \n averaging the plurality of computed second criterion; \n updating the initial average by:\n determining a candidate design point and another candidate design point of selected design points of a primary cluster in the design space; \n obtaining a swapped allocation for the design space by replacing a level allocated to the candidate design point for the categorical factor with a level allocated to the another candidate design point for the categorical factor; \n generating an updated sub-design based on the swapped allocation; \n obtaining an updated average representing the separation of design points in the design space according to the swapped allocation; and \n \n when a difference between the updated average and the initial average indicates that for a majority of the selected design points in the design space, the updated sub-design achieves a greater separation of design points of a same level than the initial sub-design, modifying the initial sub-design of the design space by:\n replacing the initial sub-design with the updated sub-design; and \n replacing the initial average with the updated average.
