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, $\delta_i$, and the corrected model $M_i + \delta_i$ 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.
