I currently use a Halton sequence to choose parameter sets for a prognostic model (e.g. using metabolic rate and protein content parameters to predict growth rate).
From my understanding, both a Halton sequence and a Latin Hypercube can be used to evenly sample parameter space.
I am reviewing a paper where the author uses a Latin hypercube in the same context that I am using a Halton sequence.
How are these approaches related? Are there conditions under which one would be more appropriate?
I am not aware of any theoretical results which allow a comparison to be made (unless you can compare discrepancy measures). I spent a good amount of time digging through the literature in the context of numerical integration, though I'm not an expert. I wasn't looking specifically for an answer to your question, but it was always in the back of my mind. Here are two papers which make experimental comparisons between sampling methods. The first would probably be of most interest to you.
