Uncertainty Quantification: Theory, Implementation, and Applications provides readers with the basic concepts, theory, and algorithms necessary to quantify input and response uncertainties for simulation models arising in a broad range of disciplines. The field of uncertainty quantification is evolving rapidly due to: an increasing emphasis on models that require quantified uncertainties for large-scale applications, novel algorithm development, and new computational architectures that facilitate implementation of these algorithms.
The book begins with a detailed discussion of applications where uncertainty quantification is critical for both scientific understanding and policy. It then covers concepts from probability and statistics, parameter selection techniques, frequentist and Bayesian model calibration, propagation of uncertainties, quantification of model discrepancy, surrogate model construction, and local and global sensitivity analysis. The author maintains a complementary website where readers can find data used in the exercises and other supplementary material.
Uncertainty Quantification: Theory, Implementation, and Applications includes:
- A large number of definitions and examples that use a suite of relatively simple models to illustrate concepts;
- Numerous references to current and open research issues;
- Exercises that illustrate basic concepts and guide readers through the numerical implementation of algorithms for prototypical problems;
- A wide range of applications, including weather and climate models, subsurface hydrology and geology models, nuclear power plant design, and models for biological phenomena;
- Recent advances and topics that have appeared in the research literature within the last 15 years, including aspects of Bayesian model calibration, surrogate model development, parameter techniques, and global sensitivity analysis.
A supplemental set of MATLAB code files is available for download.
