In one embodiment, a model generator generates a new model for a behavior of a system based on an existing, authoritative model. First, a mapping generator generates a mapping model that maps authoritative values obtained via the authoritative model to measured values that represent the behavior of the system. Subsequently, the model generator creates the new model based on the authoritative model and the mapping model. In this fashion, the mapping model indirectly transforms the authoritative model to the new model based on the measured values. Advantageously, the authoritative model enables the model generator to increase a rate of accuracy improvement experienced while developing the new model compared to a rate of accuracy improvement that would be experienced were the new model to be generated based on conventional modeling techniques. In particular, for a given sampling budget, the model generator improves the accuracy of the new model.
