Input File (*.rsd) Format

• New START_IGNORE and STOP_IGNORE optional directives.

   Response Surface Identification Module

• Option to write covariance matrix to m-file output using -mcov option in rs_calc3.sh
• Preservation of originating command line in m-file output as variable MainParameters.
• Compiled for Intel-based Mac OS X.

    Response Surface Query Module

• Option to output membership functions using '-mfout'. 
• Output real variable names using '-rn' flag. 
• Specify alternate directory for query input files using '-rsqh'. 
• Option for uneven number of points for 2-D scan (-nq option with '-scan2'). 
• Option for non-file-based input query specification using range arguments to '-scan1' or '-scan2'. 
• Uncertainty prediction: output either confidence interval ('-U') or prediction interval ('-Up').
• Optional override of random variations standard deviation ('-stdev'). 
• Improved rs-membership control when using RANGE{MIN,MAX} in *.rsd input file. 
• Mac OS X compatibility.

    Optimization / Response Surface Search Module

• Membership functions now applied by default.
• New sample cases documentation.
• Mac OS X compatibility. 
  

    Distribution / Sample Cases

• Improved robustness of Cygwin TCL/TK installation script.
  
• Improved *.readme sample case descriptions using a tutorial-style common format, including Tecplot and gnuplot verification graphics and journaling scripts. 
• Added rs_membership.defaultTriangular.m multidimensional example. 
• Added new sample case “mf_1d,” a two disjointed zones tutorial emphasizing membership function usage and custom design. 
• Added new sample case “patch,” a progressive, 7-zone tutorial to help understand membership function design in the case of mostly overlapping zones.
  
• Added sample case “carbon,” a tutorial emphasizing the effect of radial basis function stiffness on the response surface uncertainty, and contrasting confidence intervals and prediction intervals.
  
• Inclusion of license agreement.
