1Blurb:: Generic UQ method for constructing and interrogating a surrogate model. 2 3Description:: 4As surrogate models by stochastic expansion migrate into the model specification, 5this method provides a general-purpose UQ method to interrogate the surrogate for 6generating statistics. 7 8This method must identify the surrogate of interest through its \c model_pointer, 9distinguishing it from fully-integrated method specifications such as 10\ref method-polynomial_chaos, \ref method-stoch_collocation, and 11\ref method-function_train that couple directly with a simulation model 12(and form the PCE, SC, FT surrogate approximations implicitly prior to using 13them for generating statistics). 14 15Topics:: 16 17Examples:: 18Theory:: 19Faq:: 20See_Also:: method-polynomial_chaos, method-stoch_collocation, method-function_train 21
