Notes

The response surface is the first-order Taylor expansion of the function h at the point \ux_0. Refer to Taylor Expansion for details.

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> formulas = ['x1 * sin(x2)', 'cos(x1 + x2)', '(x2 + 1) * exp(x1 - 2 * x2)']
>>> myFunc = ot.SymbolicFunction(['x1', 'x2'], formulas)
>>> myTaylor = ot.LinearTaylor([1, 2], myFunc)
>>> myTaylor.run()
>>> responseSurface = myTaylor.getMetaModel()
>>> print(responseSurface([1.2,1.9]))
