Introducing multivator: A Multivariate Emulator
نویسنده
چکیده
A multivariate generalization of the emulator technique described by Hankin (2005) is presented in which random multivariate functions may be assessed. In the standard univariate case (Oakley 1999), a Gaussian process, a finite number of observations is made; here, observations of different types are considered. The technique has the property that marginal analysis (that is, considering only a single observation type) reduces exactly to the univariate theory. The associated software is used to analyze datasets from the field of climate change. This vignette is based on Hankin (2012).

Expert Knowledge and Multivariate Emulation: The Thermosphere-Ionosphere Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (TIE-GCM)
The TIE-GCM simulator of the upper atmosphere has a number of features that are a challenge to standard approaches to emulation, such as a long run-time, multivariate output, periodicity, and strong constraints on the inter-relationship between inputs and outputs. These kinds of features are not unusual in models of complex systems. We show how they can be handled in an emulator, and demonstrat...

متن کاملEmulation of multivariate simulators using thin-plate splines with application to atmospheric dispersion
It is often desirable to build a statistical emulator of a complex computer simulator in order to perform analysis which would otherwise be computationally infeasible. We propose methodology to model multivariate output from a computer simulator taking into account output structure in the responses. The utility of this approach is demonstrated by applying it to a chemical and biological hazard ...
متن کاملA comparison of Latin hypercube and grid ensemble designs for the multivariate emulation of an Earth system model
A statistical emulator is a fast proxy for a complex computer model which predicts model output at arbitrary parameter settings from a limited ensemble of training data. Regular grid designs for the training set are commonly used for their simplicity. However, Latin hypercube designs have well known theoretical advantages in the design of computer experiments, especially as the dimension of the...
متن کاملIntroducing BACCO, an R package for Bayesian analysis of computer code output
An earlier version of this document was published as Hankin (2005). This paper introduces the BACCO package of R routines for carrying out Bayesian analysis of computer code output. The package requires three packages of related functionality: emulator and calibrator, and approximator, computerized implementations of the ideas of Oakley and O’Hagan (2002), Kennedy and O’Hagan (2001a), and Kenne...
