Multiple regression of parameters and responses

[asnyv]

Plugin for evaluation of response from multiple input parameters

Motivation

The existing parameter-response correlation plugin allows for correlation of only a single parameter with a response (the ParameterResponseCorrelation plugin).

It is quite common that just a small number of parameters are the key drivers for a specific response, e.g. the total production over the lifetime of a well. A limited number of key parameters is much easier to handle, both when making a decision, and to sort out which uncertainties that are worth putting more work into.

Some suggestions:

• Evaluation / literature search of applicable methods to use.
  • Consider linear and non-linear methods.
  • Test the most promising ones on the available test data set.
• Implementation and delivery:
  • Implement chosen method(s), either using an existing (well maintained) open source library, or from scratch.
  • User friendly visualization plugin. Should at least feature: selection of response and an "easy to understand" view of key parameter combinations for selected response together with there "score" (quality of fit)
  • Keep in mind during implementation: How computationally expensive is the chosen method? Can we calculate on request, or do we have to pre-calculate?
• Additional ideas you might have that can provide additional insight to parameter - response correlations
