Parameter Study Principles & Practices Slide 2 What is Parameter Study? Parameter study is the application of a single algorithm over a set of independent inputs: Y i = Alg (X i ) where X i X={X 1, X 2,.. X n } In many practical cases the Input set is the combination (Cartesian product or ) of base input sets Example: PS1 i PS1= {PS1 1,PS1 2 }; PS2 i PS2 ={PS2 1,PS2 2,PS2 3 } then X = PS1 PS2 and X i X={ X 1 ={PS1 1, PS2 1 }, X 2 ={PS1 2, PS2 1 }, X 3 ={PS1 1, PS2 2 }, X 4 ={PS1 2, PS2 2 }, X 5 ={PS1 1, PS2 3 }, X 6 ={PS1 2, PS2 3 } }
