design exploration Controls

design exploration Factors

design exploration Responses

During parameters definition, we consistently use the terms input and output and these are useful general terms. It is unfortunate that in different domains of design exploration different terms are used. The following table summarizes the situation.

	Inputs	Outputs
Design Of Experiments	Controls for design exploration Controls or sometimes Factors for design exploration Factors	Responses for design exploration Responses
Optimization	Inputs	Outputs
Monte Carlo	Controls	Responses
