SLAW
- Version: 0.93
- First release: 15MAY2003
- Current release: 29JUN2004
- Description: SLAW is a procedure that derives
representative scaling laws of a process from
sensitivity analysis experimental data. The approach integrates
dimensional analysis into the multivariate linear regression backwards
elimination procedure. In addition to the scaling laws, the program
provides a set of dimensionless groups ranked by relevance.
The algorithm is coded in 6 Matlab .m files, in addition
we provide a java interface for SLAW.
- Keywords:
scaling laws, engineering design,
constrained linear regression.
