A Matlab Toolbox for Kriging Metamodelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metamodelling offers an efficient way to imitate the behaviour of computationally expensive simulators. Kriging based metamodels are popular in approximating computation-intensive simulations of deterministic nature. Irrespective of the existence of various variants of Kriging in the literature, only a handful of Kriging implementations are publicly available and most, if not all, free libraries only provide the standard Kriging metamodel. ooDACE toolbox offers a robust, flexible and easily extendable framework where various Kriging variants are implemented in an object-oriented fashion under a single platform. This paper presents an incremental update of the ooDACE toolbox introducing an implementation of Gradient Enhanced Kriging which has been tested and validated on several engineering problems.

متن کاملNumerical assessment of metamodelling strategies in computationally intensive optimization
Metamodelling is an increasingly more popular approach for alleviating the computational burden associated with computationally intensive optimization/management problems in environmental and water resources systems. Some studies refer to the metamodelling approach as function approximation, surrogate modelling, response surface methodology or model emulation. A metamodel-enabled optimizer appr...

We present an application of the SIPPI Matlab toolbox, to obtain a sample from the a posteriori probability density function for the classical tomographic inversion problem. We consider a number of different forward models, linear and non-linear, such as ray based forward models that rely on the high frequency approximation of the wave-equation and ’fat’ ray based forward models relying on fini...
متن کاملMonotonicity-preserving bootstrapped Kriging metamodels for expensive simulations
Kriging (Gaussian process, spatial correlation) metamodels approximate the Input/Output (I/O) functions implied by the underlying simulation models; such metamodels serve sensitivity analysis and optimization, especially for computationally expensive simulations. In practice, simulation analysts often know that the I/O function is monotonic. To obtain a Kriging metamodel that preserves this kno...
متن کاملA non-stationary covariance-based Kriging method for metamodelling in engineering design
Metamodels are widely used to facilitate the analysis and optimization of engineering systems that involve computationally expensive simulations. Kriging is a metamodelling technique that is well known for its ability to build surrogate models of responses with non-linear behaviour. However, the assumption of a stationary covariance structure underlying Kriging does not hold in situations where...
