steps_per_variable

Number of steps to take in each dimension of a centered parameter study

## Specification

Alias: deltas_per_variable

Argument(s): INTEGERLIST

## Description

The `steps_per_variable` keyword allows the user to define the number of steps in each dimesion of a centered parameter study. Because they are taken independently, the number of steps can be specified for each.

Default Behavior

The user is required to define the number of steps per variable for a centered parameter study. There are no default values.

Steps are taken in the plus and minus directions, and are defined in either actual values (continuous and discrete range) or index offsets (discrete set).

## Examples

    method
      centered_parameter_study
        steps_per_variable = 5 4
        step_vector = 0.4 0.5
