maximum likelihood estimation (Martin and Simpson) 
 Model type and basis function selection using cross validation (Viana and Haftka) 
 Model type selection using leave-one-out cross validation (Drik Gorisson et al.)
3-Level model selection 
 In 3-level model selection, the selection criteria could depend 
7 
on the user preference. 
Standard surrogate-based analysis 
Structural optimization applications 
lower median error 
lower maximum error
3-Level model selection

Median error 
Maximum error 
Two model selection criteria 
evaluated using advanced surrogate error 
estimation method presented in REES 
 Depending on the problem and the available data set, the 
median and maximum errors might be 
mutually conflicting 
mutually promoting 
Pareto models 
A single optimum model
3-Level model selection 
 To implement a 3-level model selection, two approaches are 
9 
proposed: 
(i) Cascaded technique, and 
(ii) One-Step technique.
3-Level model selection 
10 
Cascaded technique 
 For each candidate kernel function, hyper-parameter optimization is 
performed to minimize the median and maximum error. 
 Hyper-parameter optimization is 
the process of quantitative search to 
find optimum hyper-parameter 
value(s). 
 Post hyper-parameter optimizations, 
Pareto filter is used to reach the final 
Pareto models.

Cascaded technique 
Solutions of the hyper-parameter optimization in the cascaded 
technique for multiquadric basis function of RBF surrogate for 
Baranin-hoo function
3-Level model selection 
The three-level model selection could also be performed by solving 
a single uniquely formulated mixed integer nonlinear 
programming (MINLP) problem.

One-Step technique 
 To escape the potentially high computational cost of the cascaded 
technique

Regional Error Estimation of Surrogate 
(REES) 
The REES method is derived from the hypothesis that the accuracy of 
approximation models is related to the amount of data resources 
leveraged to train the model.

Concluding Remarks 
 A new 3-level model selection approach is developed to select the best 
surrogate among available surrogate candidates based on the level of 
accuracy. 
(i) model type selection, 
(ii) kernel function selection, and 
(iii) hyper-parameter selection. 
 This approach is based on the model independent error measure given by the 
Regional Error Estimation of Surrogates (REES) method. 
 The preliminary results on problems indicate at least 60% reduction in 
maximum and median error values.
35 
Future Work 
 Implementation of One-Step technique with 
 larger pool of surrogates with different number of kernels 
 higher dimensional and more computationally intensive problems 
 Develop an open online platform called Collaborative Surrogate 
Model Selection (COSMOS) to allow users to submit 
- training data for identifying an ideal model from existing pool 
of surrogate models, and 
- their own new surrogate into the pool of surrogate candidates. 
If interested in COSMOS please contact me at amehmani@syr.edu

type of distribution from a list of candidates such as lognormal, 
Gamma, Weibull, logistic, log logistic, inverse Gaussian, and 
generalized extreme value distribution.

  • 34. 34 Concluding Remarks  A new 3-level model selection approach is developed to select the best surrogate among available surrogate candidates based on the level of accuracy. (i) model type selection, (ii) kernel function selection, and (iii) hyper-parameter selection.  This approach is based on the model independent error measure given by the Regional Error Estimation of Surrogates (REES) method.  The preliminary results on problems indicate at least 60% reduction in maximum and median error values.
  • 35. 35 Future Work  Implementation of One-Step technique with  larger pool of surrogates with different number of kernels  higher dimensional and more computationally intensive problems  Develop an open online platform called Collaborative Surrogate Model Selection (COSMOS) to allow users to submit - training data for identifying an ideal model from existing pool of surrogate models, and - their own new surrogate into the pool of surrogate candidates. If interested in COSMOS please contact me at amehmani@syr.edu
