Description

(Experimental option) Automatically refine the surrogate model until desired cross-validation quality is achieved. Refinement is accomplished by iteratively adding more data to the training set until the cross-validation convergence_tolerance is achieved, or max_function_evaluations or max_iterations is exceeded.

The amount of new training data that is incorporated each iteration is specified in the DACE method that is referred to by the model’s dace_method_pointer. See refinement_samples for more information.
