Query point

The query point is a vector specifying a point in input space. The nth number specifies the value of the nth input variable. The query point is used by several EYE functions:

• Analysis gives informations about predictions, gradients, and confidence intervals for the current query point.

• Graph holds the values of all the inputs (other than the one currently being graphed) to their value in the query point.

• Predict makes its prediction about the current query point. See section 6.2.

The initial value assigned to the query point when a new datafile is opened is the midpoint of the range of inputs, i.e. the nth number in the query point is midway between the lowest and highest values taken by the nth input variable.

AutoRSM and Optimize both set the query point (see section 6.12 and section for details).
