box_behnken


box_behnken, a FORTRAN90 code which returns a set of sample argument values to be used to analyze the behavior of a function.

Given DIM_NUM parameters, each of which is prescribed to lie between a minimum and maximum range, and a function taking these parameters as arguments, this program returns a table of sets of argument values that may be used to sample the function's behavior.

One sample point is the average. All other sample points are generated by setting a single spatial coordinate to its average value, and all other spatial coordinates to either the minimum or maximum. In this way, 1 + DIM_NUM*2**DIM_NUM-1) points are generated.
