Guided, Accelerated Parametric Studies

We present an algorithm that dynamically reorders the evaluations in a parametric study to find the "interesting" areas sooner rather than later. In some circumstances it can be much faster than traditional studies. Reduced time means faster turnaround for studies, shorter decision cycles, and allows a higher number of dimensions than would normally be considered.

We give a simple explanation of the method and present some specific use cases on existing pipelines. We believe this algorithm will be useful for broad categories of problems in pipeline (and other) industries.
