Description

The only trend functions that are currently supported are polynomials.

The trend function is selected using the trend keyword, with options constant, linear, or reduced_quadratic. The reduced_quadratic trend function includes the main effects, but not mixed/interaction terms. The Surfpack GP (See model-surrogate-global-gaussian_process-surfpack) has the additional option of (a full) quadratic.
