Creating Surrogates for Stochastic Models1. Run a small number <strong>of</strong> repetitions (10-20) to get anidea <strong>of</strong> the distribution <strong>of</strong> the outputs2. If it appears normal and non-modal, perform a t-testto determine the number <strong>of</strong> repetitions required forthe desired accuracy3. If it appears non-normal and non-modal, run a t-testto get a ballpark estimate for the number <strong>of</strong>repetitions, and assume at least a 20% increase in thisnumber will be required4. If it appears modal, perform testing to determinewhat factors are driving the modes, and follow theprocess for fitting surrogates <strong>of</strong> modal distributionsDeveloping Methods and Techniques for <strong>System</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>System</strong>s <strong>Engineering</strong>Dr. Dimitri Mavris, dimitri.mavris@ae.gatech.edu46
