.. py:currentmodule:: emat Exploratory Scoping =================== .. toctree:: :hidden: scope parameters measures boxes scope.file .. rubric:: :doc:`Scope ` The exploratory |Scope| provides a high-level group of instructions for what inputs and outputs a model provides, and what ranges and/or distributions of these inputs will be considered in an exploratory analysis. .. rubric:: :doc:`Parameters ` A |Parameter| is used to provide scoping information for a single model input. This can be a constant, an exogenous uncertainty, or a policy lever. .. rubric:: :doc:`Performance Measures ` A |Measure| is used to provide scoping information for a single model output. .. rubric:: :doc:`Boxes ` A |Box| represents a constrained subset of experiments, containing only those :term:`cases ` that meet certain restrictions. These restrictions are expressed as limited ranges on a particular set of named |parameters| or |measures|. A |Box| can also designate a set of relevant features, which are not themselves constrained but should be considered in any analytical report developed based on that |Box|. .. rubric:: :doc:`Scope File` The |Scope File| is where the scope is defined for the analysis. The file is implemented in YAML and contains the selected uncertainties, levers, and measures for the analysis. This file is used when initializing an EMAT Scope. .. |Scope| replace:: :class:`Scope` .. |Parameter| replace:: :class:`Parameter` .. |Measure| replace:: :class:`Measure` .. |parameters| replace:: :term:`parameters ` .. |measures| replace:: :term:`measures ` .. |Box| replace:: :class:`Box` .. |Scope File| replace:: :class:`Scope File`
