.. _MappingParameter:


Mapping parameter
-----------------


The parameter allows for mapping the value of discrete or categorial parameters to other values. For example, one can map material names to physical properties of the material such that a surrogate is better able to predict the behaviour of a material based on existing data for materials with similar properties.

.. _ActiveLearning.trans.mapping.name:


name (str)
""""""""""
   The name of the parameter. 

   Default: This value has no default and must be provided

.. _ActiveLearning.trans.mapping.discrete_parameter:


discrete_parameter (str)
""""""""""""""""""""""""
   The name of the discrete or categorial parameter to be mapped. 

   Default: This value has no default and must be provided

.. _ActiveLearning.trans.mapping.values:


values (cell{float})
""""""""""""""""""""
   The values that the discrete or categorial parameter values are mapped to in the order of the domain definition of the input parameter. 

   Default: This value has no default and must be provided

   .. admonition:: Example

      Mapping a categorial parameter with ``domain=['cat1', 'cat2', 'cat2']``.
