WHAT IS THE SURROGATES TOOLBOX?
SURROGATES Toolbox is a general-purpose MATLAB library of multidimensional function approximation and optimization methods. The current version includes the following capabilities:
Design of experiments: central composite design, full factorial design, Latin hypercube design, D-optimal and maxmin designs.
Surrogates: kriging, polynomial response surface, radial basis neural network, and support vector regression.
Analysis of error and cross validation: leave-one-out and k-fold cross-validation, and classical error analysis (coefficient of determination, standard error; root mean square error; and others).
Surrogate-based optimization: efficient global optimization (EGO) algorithm.
Other capabilities: global sensitivity analysis and conservative surrogates via safety margin.

I am deeply grateful to Dr. Raphael Haftka for his guidance during the development of this toolbox and for his valuable comments on the documentation. I also thank Dr. Tushar Goel for his collaboration until Version 1.1 (Release 2). I am also thankful to Mr. Wei-Teck Lee for his hard work on the visualization capabilities added in Version 2.1.
