Abstract:

Metamodels are used as analysis tools for solving optimiza- tion problems or as surrogates used as building blocks in larger scale simulations. The metamodel replaces the sim- ulation model by a simplified input-output relationship, fre- quently a mathematical function with customized parame- ters. The construction of a metamodel is based on the sim- ulation results for a set of design points. In order to collect statistical information each design point may be simulated repeatedly. This paper explores the precision of the result- ing metamodel based on the tradeoff between higher num- ber of design points versus a higher number of replications at a smaller number of design points.
