1Blurb:: 2Output moments of the specified type and include them within the set of final statistics. 3 4Description:: 5When performing a nested study that may employ moment statistics on the inner loop, it can be desirable to control the type of these moments. The \c final_moments specification supports options of \c none, \c standard (default), or \c central, corresponding to omission of moments, standardized moments (mean, standard deviation, skewness, and excess kurtosis), or central moments (mean, variance, 3rd central, and 4th central). 6 7The presence or omission of moment results in the final statistics influences the outer level mappings in the case of a nested study. For example, \c final_moments \c none can allow for a more compact specification of primary and/or secondary response mappings. 8 9Topics:: 10Examples:: 11 12The following method specification overrides the default to print \c central moments and include them in the set of final statistics. 13\verbatim 14method, 15 sampling 16 samples = 50 seed = 1234 17 response_levels = 3.6e+11 1.2e+05 3.5e+05 18 final_moments central 19\endverbatim 20 21Overriding the default to \c none as follows: 22\verbatim 23method, 24 sampling 25 samples = 50 seed = 1234 26 response_levels = 3.6e+11 1.2e+05 3.5e+05 27 final_moments none 28\endverbatim 29 30allows associated nested model mappings to be simplified from: 31\verbatim 32model 33 nested 34 sub_method_pointer = 'UQ' 35 primary_response_mapping = 0. 0. 1. 0. 0. 1. 0. 0. 0. 36 secondary_response_mapping = 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 1. 37\endverbatim 38 39to a more compact version focused only on the response level mappings (two 40leading zeros per response function for moment mappings have been removed): 41\verbatim 42model 43 nested 44 sub_method_pointer = 'UQ' 45 primary_response_mapping = 1. 1. 0. 46 secondary_response_mapping = 0. 0. 1. 47\endverbatim 48 49Theory:: 50Faq:: 51See_Also:: 52
