Gaussian Approximations for Probability Measures on R
This paper concerns the approximation of probability measures on Rd with respect to the Kullback-Leibler divergence. Given an admissible target measure, we show the existence of the best approximation, with respect to this divergence, from certain sets of Gaussian measures and Gaussian mixtures. The asymptotic behavior of such best approximations is then studied in the frequently occuring small...
متن کاملGlobal Sensitivity Analysis for multivariate output using Polynomial Chaos Expansion
Many mathematical and computational models used in engineering produce multivariate output that shows some degree of correlation. However, conventional approaches to Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA) assume that the output variable is scalar. These approaches are applied on each output variable leading to a large number of sensitivity indices that shows a high degree of redundancy making the in...
متن کاملMulti-Element Generalized Polynomial Chaos for Arbitrary Probability Measures
We develop a multi-element generalized polynomial chaos (ME-gPC) method for arbitrary probability measures and apply it to solve ordinary and partial differential equations with stochastic inputs. Given a stochastic input with an arbitrary probability measure, its random space is decomposed into smaller elements. Subsequently, in each element a new random variable with respect to a conditional ...
متن کاملFunctional Inequalities for Gaussian and Log-Concave Probability Measures
We give three proofs of a functional inequality for the standard Gaussian measure originally due to William Beckner. The first uses the central limit theorem and a tensorial property of the inequality. The second uses the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup, and the third uses the heat semigroup. These latter two proofs yield a more general inequality than the one Beckner originally proved. We then ge...
متن کاملBayesian Probability and Scalar Performance Measures in Gaussian Models
The transformation of a real, continuous variable into an event probability is reviewed from the Bayesian point of view, after which a Gaussian model is employed to derive an explicit expression for the probability. In turn, several scalar (one-dimensional) measures of performance quality, and reliability diagrams are computed. It is shown that if the optimization of scalar measures is of conce...
