| Optional | reuse_points | This describes the behavior of reuse of points in constructing polynomial chaos expansion models.

## Description

In this case, the expansion order $p$ cannot be inferred from the numerical integration specification and it is necessary to provide an `expansion_order` to specify $p$ for a total-order expansion.

A corresponding sequence specification is documented at, e.g., expansion_samples_sequence and expansion_samples_sequence
