Surrogate models#
When an Discipline is costly to evaluate, it can be replaced by
a SurrogateDiscipline cheap to evaluate, e.g. linear model, Kriging,
RBF regressor, ...
This SurrogateDiscipline is built from a few evaluations of this
Discipline. This learning phase commonly relies on a regression
model calibrated by machine learning techniques. This is the reason why
GEMSEO provides a machine learning package which includes the
BaseRegressor class implementing the concept of regression model.
In addition, this machine learning package has a much broader set of features
than regression: clustering, classification, dimension reduction, data scaling, ...
