Config:SequentialDesign

Generated for SUMO toolbox version 7.0. We are well aware that documentation is not always complete and possibly even out of date in some cases. We try to document everything as best we can but much is limited by available time and manpower. We are are a university research group after all. The most up to date documentation can always be found (if not here) in the default.xml configuration file and, of course, in the source files. If something is unclear please dont hesitate to ask.

SampleSelector

empty

Don't select any new samples, useful when modeling multiple outputs, and you don't want to involve one of these outputs in the sampling process.

<[[Config:SampleSelector|SampleSelector]] type="[[SampleSelector#EmptySampleSelector|EmptySampleSelector]]" combineOutputs="false"/>

random

Selects new samples randomly in the design space.

<[[Config:SampleSelector|SampleSelector]] type="[[SampleSelector#RandomSampleSelector|RandomSampleSelector]]" combineOutputs="false"/>

delaunay

This sample selector uses a Delaunay triangulation of the data to select samples in locations far from previous samples, or in locations where the estimated model error is largest. This algorithm uses QHull, which is very slow for high dimensions, so you should only use this sample selector for less than 6D and for less than 1000 samples.

        <[[Config:MergeCriterion|MergeCriterion]] type="[[MergeCriterion#WeightedAverage|WeightedAverage]]" weights="[1 1]"/>
        
</[[Config:SampleSelector|SampleSelector]]>

density

A space-filling sampling algorithm which uses an approximation of the Voronoi tessellation of the design space. Will only sample within the "allowed" areas if constraints are specified.

<[[Config:SampleSelector|SampleSelector]] type="[[SampleSelector#VoronoiSampleRanker|VoronoiSampleRanker]]" combineOutputs="false"/>

error

An adaptive sample selection algorithm (error based), driven by the evaluation of your model on a dense grid, which selects samples in locations where the model error is estimated to be the largest.

<[[Config:SampleSelector|SampleSelector]] type="[[SampleSelector#PipelineSampleSelector|PipelineSampleSelector]]" combineOutputs="false">

      <Option key="debug" value="off"/>
   </[[Config:MergeCriterion|MergeCriterion]]>
</[[Config:SampleSelector|SampleSelector]]>

lola-voronoi

A highly adaptive sampling algorithm which performs a trade-off between exploration (filling up the design space as equally as possible) and exploitation (selecting data points in highly nonlinear regions). lola-voronoi is the only sample selector which currently supports multiple outputs, auto-sampled inputs and constraints.

<[[Config:SampleSelector|SampleSelector]] type="[[SampleSelector#LOLAVoronoiSampleSelector|LOLAVoronoiSampleSelector]]" combineOutputs="false">
   <!-- Integer between 2 and 20 -->
   <Option key="neighbourhoodSize" value="2"/>
   <!-- Number of frequency values returned for each submitted sample. Only used with auto-sampled inputs. -->
   <Option key="frequencies" value="11"/>
</[[Config:SampleSelector|SampleSelector]]>

rationalPoleSupression

A sampling algorithm aimed at supressing poles in rational models by sampling them (only for Rational models)

<[[Config:SampleSelector|SampleSelector]] type="[[SampleSelector#OptimizeCriterion|OptimizeCriterion]]" combineOutputs="false">

   <!-- This criterion has to be solved to choose new samples, one can choose the optimizer used here -->

A sampling algorithm aimed at optimization problems (only for Kriging and RBF)
