## Specification

Alias: none

Argument(s): none

## Description

This mpp_search option uses an x-space Taylor series approximation at the uncertain variable means for the initial MPP prediction, then utilizes the Two-point Adaptive Nonlinear Approximation (TANA) outlined in [ Xu98 "Xu and Grandhi, 1998"] for all subsequent MPP predictions.
