Draws a Latin Hypercube Sample from a set of uniform distributions for use in creating a Latin Hypercube Design. This function attempts to optimize the sample with respect to the S optimality criterion through a genetic type algorithm.

An n by k Latin Hypercube Sample matrix with values uniformly distributed on [0,1]
Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) was developed to generate a distribution
of collections of parameter values from a multidimensional distribution.
A square grid containing possible sample points is a Latin square iff there
is only one sample in each row and each column. A Latin hypercube is the
generalisation of this concept to an arbitrary number of dimensions. When
sampling a function of k variables, the range of each variable is divided
into n equally probable intervals. n sample points are then drawn such that a
Latin Hypercube is created. Latin Hypercube sampling generates more efficient
estimates of desired parameters than simple Monte Carlo sampling.
This program generates a Latin Hypercube Sample by creating random permutations
of the first n integers in each of k columns and then transforming those
integers into n sections of a standard uniform distribution. Random values are
then sampled from within each of the n sections. Once the sample is generated,
the uniform sample from a column can be transformed to any distribution by
using the quantile functions, e.g. qnorm(). Different columns can have
different distributions.
S-optimality seeks to maximize the mean distance from each design point to all the other points in the design, so the points are as spread out as possible.
Genetic Algorithm:
Generate pop random latin hypercube designs of size n by k
Calculate the S optimality measure of each design
Keep the best design in the first position and throw away half of the rest of the population
Take a random column out of the best matrix and place it in a random column of each of the other matricies, and take a random column out of each of the other matricies and put it in copies of the best matrix thereby causing the progeny
For each of the progeny, cause a genetic mutation pMut percent of the time. The mutation is accomplished by swtching two elements in a column
