**Description**


Enables the user to specify the name and format of the file to which
prediction discrepancy information is output. The file
will contain the values of the discrepancy model :math:`\delta_i`  calculated
at those points specified with
``num_predictions``, ``prediction_configs``, or ``import_prediction_configs``

*Default Behavior*

If ``export_discrepancy_file`` is not specified, information will be
automatically output to ``dakota_discrepancy_tabular``.dat.

*Usage Tips*

Dakota exports tabular data in one of three formats:

- ``annotated`` (default)
- ``custom_annotated``
- ``freeform``
