Uncertainty Quantification and Model Validation under Epistemic Uncertainty due to Sparse and Imprecise data
This paper develops a methodology for uncertainty quantification and model validation in the presence of epistemic uncertainty due to sparse and imprecise data. Three types of epistemic uncertainty regarding input random variables – interval data, sparse point data, and probability distributions with parameter uncertainty – are considered. When the model inputs are described using sparse point ...
متن کاملA Framework for Early and Approximate Uncertainty Quantification of Large System Simulation Models
Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) is vital to ensure credibility in simulation results and to justify model-based design decisions – especially in early development phases when system level measurement data for traditional model validation purposes are scarce. Central UQ challenges in industrial applications are computational cost and availability of information and resources for uncertainty char...
متن کامل The Quantification of Uncertainties in Production Prediction Using Integrated Statistical and Neural Network Approaches: An Iranian Gas Field Case Study
Uncertainty in production prediction has been subject to numerous investigations. Geological and reservoir engineering data comprise a huge number of data entries to the simulation models. Thus, uncertainty of these data can largely affect the reliability of the simulation model. Due to these reasons, it is worthy to present the desired quantity with a probability distribution instead of a sing...
متن کاملA comprehensive framework for verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification in scientific computing
An overview of a comprehensive framework is given for estimating the predictive uncertainty of scientific computing applications. The framework is comprehensive in the sense that it treats both types of uncertainty (aleatory and epistemic), incorporates uncertainty due to the mathematical form of the model, and it provides a procedure for including estimates of numerical error in the predictive...
متن کاملOverview of Uncertainty Assessment for Structural Health Monitoring
Uncertainty quantification is an emergent field in engineering mechanics that makes use of statistical sampling, hypothesis testing and input-output effect analysis to characterize the effect that parametric and non-parametric uncertainty has on physical experiment or numerical simulation output. This publication overviews a project at Los Alamos National Laboratory that aims at developing a me...
