Abstract
This chapter outlines the basic considerations in thinking about the design and analysis of computer experiments. This section begins by distinguishing three types of variables that can affect the output of a computer code y(•), depending on the phenomenon being modeled. Using this categorization, we identify some possible experimental goals.
