1Blurb:: 2Pointer to a DACE method for purposes of generating an ensemble of field responses to be used 3in estimating a random field model. 4THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITY. 5 6Description:: 7As part of the capability to generate a random field representation, the user 8needs to specify the data used to generate the random field representation. 9One way to do this is to run a set of simulations and generating field responses. 10Dakota will then take the full set of field responses (e.g. multiple samples, where 11each sample has a field response) and construct a random field model representing the 12uncertainty in the ensemble. The \c dace_method_pointer is a pointer to a 13Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments (DACE) method, typically 14which is a sampling method. In this case, the sampling method 15should be on a simulation which can generate field responses (e.g. \c field_responses, \c field_objectives, or 16\c field_calibration terms.) 17 18THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITY UNDER ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT. 19 20<b> Default Behavior </b> 21Currently, the \c build_source that is fully working is the 22\c dace_method_pointer. The others are not fully operational. 23 24 25Topics:: 26 27Examples:: 28 29 30Theory:: 31Faq:: 32See_Also:: 33
