% STK_SAMPCRIT_EI_EVAL computes the EI criterion
%
% CALL: EI = stk_sampcrit_ei_eval (ZP_MEAN, ZP_STD, ZI)
%
%    computes the value EI of the Expected Improvement (EI) criterion for a
%    minimization problem, with respect to the observed values ZI, assuming
%    Gaussian predictive distributions with means ZP_MEAN and standard
%    deviations ZP_STD.  The input argument must have the following sizes:
%
%       * ZP_MEAN    M x 1,
%       * ZP_STD     M x 1,
%       * ZI         N x 1,
%
%    where M is the number of points where the EI must be computed, and N the
%    number of observations.  The output has size M x 1.
%
% REMARK
%
%    Since the EI is computed for a minimization problem, the result depends
%    on the minimum of the obervations only, not on the entire set of observed
%    values.  The above call is thus equivalent to
%
%       EI = stk_sampcrit_ei_eval (ZP_MEAN, ZP_STD, min (ZI))
%
% NOTE
%
%    This function was added in STK 2.4.1, and will in the future completely
%    replace stk_distrib_normal_ei.  Note that, unlike the present function,
%    stk_distrib_normal_ei returns as a default the EI for a *maximization*
%    problem.
