Computer simulations based on mathematical models have become ubiquitous across the engineering disciplines and throughout the physical sciences. Successful use of a simulation model, however, requires careful interrogation of the model through systematic computer experiments. While specific theoretical/mathematical examinations of computer experim
". . . very well-organized text . . . makes a very valuable contribution to the field. I highly recommend it for anyone trying to learn design and modeling techniques for computer experiments. In particular, it will be a useful professional reference for scientists and engineers in practicing computer experiments, a comprehensive resource book for statisticians interested in developing new techniques for designing and modeling computation experiments, and an excellent book for undergraduate and graduate students. The authors’ careful and thorough presentation style makes the book a very enjoyable read." – Hao Helen Zhang, North Carolina State University, in JASA, December 2008
