Abstract
Computer experiments are used widely in diverse research areas such as engineering, biomechanics, and the physical and life sciences. Computer experiments use computer simulators as experimental tools to provide outputs \(y(\boldsymbol{x})\) at specified design input points \(\boldsymbol{x}\), where a computer simulator is the computer implementation of a mathematical model that describes the relationships between the input and output variables in the physical system. Computer experiments can be especially attractive when physical experiments are infeasible, unethical, or “costly to run.”
