display_format
""""""""""""""
Information to be reported from mesh adaptive search's internal
records.
.. toctree::
:hidden:
:maxdepth: 1
**Specification**
- *Alias:* None
- *Arguments:* STRING
**Description**
The ``display_format`` keyword is used to specify the set of
information to be reported by the mesh adaptive direct search method.
This is information mostly internal to the method and not reported via
Dakota output.
*Default Behavior*
By default, only the number of function evaluations (bbe) and the
objective function value (obj) are reported.
The full list of options is as follows. Note that case does not
matter.
- BBE: Blackbox evaluations.
- BBO: Blackbox outputs.
- EVAL: Evaluations (includes cache hits).
- MESH_INDEX: Mesh index.
- MESH_SIZE: Mesh size parameter.
- OBJ: Objective function value.
- POLL_SIZE: Poll size parameter.
- SOL: Solution, with format iSOLj where i and j are two (optional) strings: i will be displayed before each coordinate, and j after each coordinate (except the last).
- STAT_AVG: The AVG statistic.
- STAT_SUM: The SUM statistic defined by argument.
- TIME: Wall-clock time.
- VARi: Value of variable i. The index 0 corresponds to the first variable.
*Expected Outputs*
A list of the requested information will be printed to the screen.
*Usage Tips*
This will most likely only be useful for power users who want to
understand and/or report more detailed information on method behavior.
**Examples**
The following example shows the syntax for specifying
``display_format``. Note that all desired information options should be
listed within a single string.
.. code-block::
method
mesh_adaptive_search
display_format 'bbe obj poll_size'
seed = 1234
Below is the output reported for the above example.
