Exploratory ScopingΒΆ
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.
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.
A Measure is used to provide scoping information for
a single model output.
A Box represents a constrained subset of experiments, containing
only those 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.
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.
