Information Theoretic Quantification of Diagnostic Uncertainty
Diagnostic test interpretation remains a challenge in clinical practice. Most physicians receive training in the use of Bayes' rule, which specifies how the sensitivity and specificity of a test for a given disease combine with the pre-test probability to quantify the change in disease probability incurred by a new test result. However, multiple studies demonstrate physicians' deficiencies in p...
متن کاملScalable Information Inequalities for Uncertainty Quantification
In this paper we demonstrate the only available scalable information bounds for quantities of interest of high dimensional probabilistic models. Scalability of inequalities allows us to (a) obtain uncertainty quantification bounds for quantities of interest in the large degree of freedom limit and/or at long time regimes; (b) assess the impact of large model perturbations as in nonlinear respon...
متن کاملForward and Backward Uncertainty Quantification in Optimization
This contribution gathers some of the ingredients presented during the Iranian Operational Research community gathering in Babolsar in 2019.It is a collection of several previous publications on how to set up an uncertainty quantification (UQ) cascade with ingredients of growing computational complexity for both forward and reverse uncertainty propagation.
متن کاملUnderstanding uncertainty in seagrass injury recovery: an information-theoretic approach.
Vessel groundings cause severe, persistent gaps in seagrass beds. Varying degrees of natural recovery have been observed for grounding injuries, limiting recovery prediction capabilities, and therefore, management's ability to focus restoration efforts where natural recovery is unlikely. To improve our capacity for predicting seagrass injury recovery, we used an information-theoretic approach t...
متن کاملPolynomial regression with derivative information in nuclear reactor uncertainty quantification
We introduce a novel technique of uncertainty quantification using polynomial regression with derivative information and apply it to analyze the performance of a model of a sodium-cooled fast reactor. We construct a surrogate model as a goal-oriented projection onto an incomplete space of polynomials, find coordinates of projection by collocation, and use derivative information to reduce the nu...
