num_prediction_configs

Specify number of prediction locations for model discrepancy

## Specification

Alias: none

Argument(s): INTEGER

Default: 0

## Description

Following the calculation of the model discrepancy functions, , and the corrected model may be calculated at new or "prediction" configurations. Using the `num_prediction_configurations` command, the user may specify the number of prediction configurations they wish to be computed. The new configuration locations will be spread uniformly in the configuration variable domain specified in the `variables` block of the input file.

Usage Tips

If none of `num_prediction_configs`, `prediction_configs`, or `import_prediction_configs` is specified, the number of prediction configurations is set to 10 for scalar responses. For field responses, the corrected model will be output at the input values of the configuration variables.
