DAKOTA¶
Description¶
This module lets you use the software DAKOTA.
The DAKOTA (Design Analysis Kit for Optimization and Terascale Applications) toolkit provides a flexible, extensible interface between analysis codes and iterative systems analysis methods. DAKOTA contains algorithms for:
- optimization with gradient and nongradient-based methods; * uncertainty quantification with sampling, reliability, stochastic expansion, and epistemic methods; * parameter estimation with nonlinear least squares methods; * and sensitivity/variance analysis with design of experiments and parameter study methods.
