Title: Determining the Pareto Frontier for Multiobjective Optimization of Black Box Functions
Author(s): Dianne Bautista and Thomas Santner*+
Companies: The Ohio State University and The Ohio State University
Address: Department of Statistics, Columbus, OH, 43210,
Keywords: Multiobjective optimization ; Pareto Frontier
Abstract:

Most engineering design efforts involve the optimization of multiple price/performance or other competing objectives. The Pareto frontier of a set of functions specifying these multiple objectives for a given application, consists of those engineering designs that cannot be simultaneously improved for all objectives. This talk describes a method of determining the Pareto frontier when the competing functions correspond to expensive-to-calculate computer codes. Methods for identifying the Pareto Frontier in the computer experiment setting will be discussed.
