Bayesian Calibration of Multistate Stochastic Simulators

چکیده
Inference on large-scale models is of great interest in modern science. Examples include deterministic simulators of fluid dynamics to recover the source of a pollutant, and stochastic agent-based simulators to infer features of consumer behaviour. When computational constraints prohibit model evaluation at all but a small ensemble of parameter settings, exact inference is infeasible. In such cases, emulation of the simulator enables the interrogation of a surrogate model at arbitrary parameter values. Combining emulators with observational data to estimate parameters and predict a real-world process is known as computer model calibration. The choice of the emulator model is a critical aspect of calibration. Existing approaches treat the mathematical model as implemented on computer as an unknown but deterministic response surface. In many cases the underlying mathematical model, or the simulator approximating the mathematical model, are not determinsitic and in fact have some uncertainty associated with their output. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian statistical calibration model for stochastic simulators. The approach is motivated by two applied problems: a deterministic mathematical model of intra-cellular signalling whose implementation on computer nonetheless has discretization uncertainty, and a stochastic model of river Statistica Sinica: Preprint doi:10.5705/ss.202016.0403

متن کاملA Dynamic Bi-orthogonal Field Equation Approach for Efficient Bayesian Calibration of Large-Scale Systems
This paper proposes a novel computationally efficient dynamic bi-orthogonality based approach for calibration of a computer simulator with high dimensional parametric and model structure uncertainty. The proposed method is based on a decomposition of the solution into mean and a random field using a generic Karhunnen-Loeve expansion. The random field is represented as a convolution of separable...

متن کاملApplication of Parameter Estimation and Calibration Method for Car-following Models
Both safety and the capacity of the roadway system are highly dependent on the car-following characteristics of drivers. Car-following theory describes the driver behavior of vehicles following other vehicles in a traffic stream. In the last few decades, many car-following models have been developed; however, studies are still needed to improve their accuracy and reliability. Car-following mode...
