Abstract:
|
Simulators, also known as computer models, are mathematical representations of a real system implemented in a computer. The difference between a real system and its simulator is called the discrepancy function. Our beliefs about the discrepancy function is represented by a Gaussian process prior. After observing experimental data from the real system, our beliefs are represented by a discrepancy function model. In this work, some inference methods for discrepancy function models are reviewed and a set graphical and numerical diagnostics to validate a discrepancy function model is presented. The proposed methodology is illustrated on some toy examples.
