#' A point n2 is a neighbor of point n1 with respect to param p if the two points
#' n1 and n2 are identical everywhere except for param p. 
#' @param df The data.frame containing all known combinations
#' @param param_vals The combination for which we want to find neighbors
#' @param param_name Name of the parameter (dimension) along which to search for neighbors.
