Metamodeling: a state of the art review

The simulation community has used metamodels to study the behavior of computer simulations for over twenty-five years. The most popular techniques have been based on parametric polynomial response surface approximations. In this state of the art review, we present recent developments in this area, with a particular focus on new developments in the experimental designs employed.
