The Influence of Experimental Designs on the Performance of Surrogate Model Based Costly Global Optimization Solvers
Nils-Hassan QUTTINEH, Kenneth HOLMSTRÖM Dedicated to Dr. N. Andrei on the occasion of his 60th birthday Abstract: When dealing with costly objective functions in optimization, one good alternative is to use a surrogate model approach. A common feature for all such methods is the need of an initial set of …
