Argument(s): none

Required/Optional Description of Group Dakota Keyword Dakota Keyword Description
Optional
(Choose One)
Group 1 sbo Use the surrogate based optimization method
ego Use the Efficient Global Optimization method
ea Use an evolutionary algorithm
lhs

Uses Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) to sample variables

Optional rng

Selection of a random number generator

Optional samples

Number of samples for sampling-based methods

Description

In the global approach to interval estimation, one uses either a global optimization method or a sampling method to assess the bounds of the responses.

global_interval_est allows the user to specify several approaches to calculate interval bounds on the output responses.

  • lhs - note: this takes the minimum and maximum of the samples as the bounds
  • ego
  • sbo
  • ea
