John Jakeman: Uncertainty Quantification Using Sparse Grids
Mathematical models of physical systems are subject to a wide range of uncertainties. The e�ects of such uncertainty should be traced through the system thoroughly enough to allow one to evaluate their e�ects on the intended use of the model. Uncertainties occur in all stages of the modelling process and assume many forms. In this talk I will present sparse grid based methods for quantifying input uncertainty driven by stochastic processes and/or arising from unknown model parameters. Speci�cally I will discuss the role of sparse grids for statistical moment estimation, sensitivity analysis, reliability based design and Bayesian inference.
