Local sensitivity informed anisotropic sparse grid method for uncertainty quantification of chemical kinetics

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2023
The determination of rate coefficient parameters in detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms through experiments often suffers from avoidable aleatory uncertainty, while the use of reduced mechanisms, based on various reduction methods, introduces epistemic ...

Uncertainty Quantification and Experimental Design for Large-Scale Linear Inverse Problems under Gaussian Process Priors

open access: yes, 2022
We consider the use of Gaussian process (GP) priors for solving inverse problems in a Bayesian framework. As is well known, the computational complexity of GPs scales cubically in the number of datapoints.

Functional error modeling for uncertainty quantification in hydrogeology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Approximate models (proxies) can be employed to reduce the computational costs of estimating uncertainty. The price to pay is that the approximations introduced by the proxy model can lead to a biased estimation.

Non‐linear model reduction for uncertainty quantification in large‐scale inverse problems [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 2009
AbstractWe present a model reduction approach to the solution of large‐scale statistical inverse problems in a Bayesian inference setting. A key to the model reduction is an efficient representation of the non‐linear terms in the reduced model. To achieve this, we present a formulation that employs masked projection of the discrete equations; that is ...

Forecasting the Dialysis Burden in Japan: Validation‐Based Projections of Prevalence and Incidence Through 2050

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.
