Comparison of independent, stratified and random covering sample schemes in optimization problems (Q1921106): Difference between revisions

The authors consider three schemes of global optimization algorithms based on the use of grids. They compare the so-called independent sampling, stratified sampling and random covering grids implemented to the estimation problem of the global maximum of a function. The results give an insight on how a decrease of randomness in selection rules for the trial points improves efficiency of global random search algorithms.
