max

Compute sample allocation for each response and use maximum over responses for each level in a MLMC algorithm

## Specification

Alias: none

Argument(s): none

## Description

An individual sample allocation for each response using the respective variances of the `allocation_target` of over all levels is computed; the maximum over all responses for each level is taken.

## Examples

The following method block

    method,
        model_pointer = 'HIERARCH'
            multilevel_sampling
          pilot_samples = 20 seed = 1237
          convergence_tolerance = .01
          allocation_target = mean
          qoi_aggregation = max

uses the max rule to aggregate the variance over the qois.
