Which is the correct form: "Parameter set", "parameters set", or "parameters' set"?

Which is the correct form: "Parameter set", "parameters set", or
"parameters' set"?

I have sets of parameters like (1, 2, 3, 5) or (3.14, 2.73, 1.44, 1.73).
They are named, but I do not think it makes any difference. Which form is
the correct one to call one general case or example of such things?
Parameter set.
Parameters set.
Parameters' set.
I would opt for choice 2. but I am not really sure. That would impose the
plural so maybe choice 1 is correct. Choice 3 sounds really off to me in
English, but that would be the direct calque from my native language.
