Laipaporn Department of Mathematics School of Science, Walailak University Nakhon Si Thammarat 8060, Thailand lkittipo@wu.ac.th K. Neammanee Department of Mathematics Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University Bangkok 0330, Thailand Kritsana.N@chula.ac.th Abstract This paper gave a non-uniform bound on normal approximation of randomized orthogonal array sampling designs which is proposed by Owen and Tang in 99 and 993. Our method is Stein s method. Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 6E0, secondary 60F05 Keywords: non-uniform bound, normal approximation, computer experiment, orthogonal array sampling designs, Stein s method Introduction The problem of computing a value of integral over a high dimension is important in many scientific fields. Consider a deterministic function Y = f(x) R where x [0, ] d and f is known but hard to calculate. Then our aim is to estimate [0,] d f(x)dx,

2 348 K. Laipaporn and K. Neammanee that is the expectation of f X, μ = E(f X), where X is a random vector uniformly distributed on a unit hypercube [0, ] d. The simplest way is to draw the samplings X,X,..., X n independently and uniformly distributed from [0, ] d and use ˆμ = n n f X i (.) i= as an estimator of μ. This method is called the Monte Carlo method.(see[0],[4] and [6] for more details) Beside the uniform sampling, there are various alternative ways to sellect the points X i s for ˆμ. For examples, lattice sampling([9]), Latin hypercube sampling([],[3],[5],[8]), the orthogonal arrays([],[6]) and scrambled net([3],[4]). In 996, Loh considered some classes of the orthogonal arrays and he gave a uniform bound on normal approximation. In this work, we shall establish a non-uniform bound by using the Stein s method. The organization of this paper is as follows. In section, we give some definitions, notations and state the main result. Some useful lemmas are proved in section 3 and we show the main result in section 4. Preliminary Notes and Main Result Definition.. An orthogonal array of strength t with index λ (λ ) is an n d matrix with elements taken from the set {0,,..., } such that for any n t submatrix, each of the t possible rows appears the same number λ of times where d, n, and t are positive integers with t d and. Of course, n = λ t. A class of this arrays is denoted by OA(n, d,, t)(see [8] for more details). In 996, Loh considered the class OA(n, 3,,) when n = and constructed the sampling X,X,..., X on the unit cube [0, ] 3 as follows: Let (a) π,π,π 3 be random permutations of {0,,..., }, (b) U i,i,i 3,j be [0, ] uniform random variables where i,i,i 3 {0,,..., }, j {,, 3}, and (c) U i,i,i 3,j s and π k s be all stochastically independent. An orthogonal array-based sample of size, {X,X,..., X }, is defined to be {X(π (a i, ),π (a i, ),π 3 (a i,3 )) : i }, where, for each i,i,i 3 {0,,..., } and j {,, 3}, X ( i,i,i 3 ) = ( X (i,i,i 3 ),X (i,i,i 3 ),X 3 (i,i,i 3 ) ),

3 Normal approximation of orthogonal array 349 X j (i,i,i 3 )= i j + U i,i,i 3,j, and a i,j is the (i, j) th element of some arbitary but fixed A OA(, 3,,). So the estimator ˆμ of μ in (.) can be express in the form of ˆμ = f X(π (a i, ),π (a i, ),π 3 (a i,3 )). i= Owen([]) gave an expression for the asymptotic variance Var(ˆμ) ofˆμ. In this paper, we assume that Var(ˆμ) > 0 and define W = (ˆμ μ). (.) Var(ˆμ) Loh([8]) gave a uniform bound on the normal approximation of W and Theorem. is his result. Theorem.. Let Φ be the stantdard normal distribution function, i.e., Φ(x) = x e t dt. Suppose that E(f X) r < for some even integer r 4. π Then sup { P (W w) Φ(w) : <w< } = O( r r ) as. In 006, Laipaporn and Neammanee([]) improved the order in Theorem. to the rate O( ) under the assumption that E(f X) 6 <. In this work, we investigate a non-uniform bound. The following theorem is our main result. Theorem.. Suppose that E(f X) r < for even number r 0. Then, as, for z R, P (W z) Φ(z) max ( O( ( + z ) r r 8 r ), ( + z ) O( ) ). 6 3 Auxiliary Results In this section, we will give some lemmas which used in proving the main result in section 4. In 996, Loh defined a random function ρ π be such that ( i,i,ρ π (i,i ) ) = ( π (a i, ),π (a i, ),π 3 (a i,3 ) ) (3.) for some i {,..., } and showed that W in (.) can be rewritten again as the form W = Y ( i,i,ρ π (i,i ) ) (3.) i =0 i =0

Define W = W S S + S 3 + S 4 where S = Y ( I,i,ρ π (I,i ) ), S = Y ( K, i,ρ π (K, i ) ), i =0 i =0 S 3 = Y ( I,i,ρ π (K, i ) ), S 4 = Y ( K, i,ρ π (I,i ) ). i =0 i =0 Moreover, for each i,i and i 3 {0,,,..., }, and z 0, we also let and μ(i,i,i 3 )=EY (i,i,i 3 ) Y z (i,i,i 3 )=Y(i,i,i 3 )I ( Y (i,i,i 3 ) > +z ), Ŷ z (i,i,i 3 )=Y (i,i,i 3 )I ( Y (i,i,i 3 ) +z ), Ŷ = Ŷ z (i,i,ρ π (i,i )) i =0 i =0 Ỹ = Ŷ Ŝ,z Ŝ,z + Ŝ3,z + Ŝ4,z where Ŝ,z = Ŷ z (I,i,ρ π (I,i )), Ŝ,z = Ŷ z (K, i,ρ π (K, i )), i =0 i =0 Ŝ 3,z = Ŷ z (I,i,ρ π (K, i )), Ŝ 4,z = Ŷ z (K, i,ρ π (I,i )), i =0 i =0
