Off-the-grid prediction and testing for linear combination of translated features

Cristina Butucea, Jean-François Delmas, Anne Dutfoy +1

We consider a model where a signal (discrete or continuous) is observed with an additive Gaussian noise process. The signal is issued from a linear combination of a finite but incr…

Consistency of the maximum likelihood estimator in hidden Markov models with trends

Luc Lehéricy, Augustin Touron

A hidden Markov model with trends is a hidden Markov model whose emission distributions are translated by a trend that depends on the current hidden state and on the current time.…

An information geometry approach for robustness analysis in uncertainty quantification of computer codes

Clement Gauchy, Jerome Stenger, Roman Sueur +1

Robustness analysis is an emerging field in the domain of uncertainty quantification. It consists of analysing the response of a computer model with uncertain inputs to the perturb…

A Visual Sensitivity Analysis for Parameter-Augmented Ensembles of Curves

Alejandro Ribes, Joachim Pouderoux, Bertrand Iooss

Engineers and computational scientists often study the behavior of their simulations by repeated solutions with variations in their parameters, which can be for instance boundary v…

A graph clustering approach to localization for adaptive covariance tuning in data assimilation based on state-observation mapping

Sibo Cheng, Jean-Philippe Argaud, Bertrand Iooss +2

An original graph clustering approach to efficient localization of error covariances is proposed within an ensemble-variational data assimilation framework. Here the localization t…

Large scale in transit computation of quantiles for ensemble runs

Alejandro Ribes, Théophile Terraz, Bertrand Iooss +2

The classical approach for quantiles computation requires availability of the full sample before ranking it. In uncertainty quantification of numerical simulation models, this appr…

Optimal input potential functions in the interacting particle system method

H. Chraibi, A. Dutfoy, T. Galtier +1

The assessment of the probability of a rare event with a naive Monte-Carlo method is computationally intensive, so faster estimation or variance reduction methods are needed. We fo…

Sensitivity analysis using perturbed-law based indices for quantiles and application to an industrial case

Roman Sueur, Bertrand Iooss, Thibault Delage

In this paper, we present perturbed law-based sensitivity indices and how to adapt them for quantile-oriented sensitivity analysis. We exhibit a simple way to compute these indices…

Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of functional risk curves based on Gaussian processes

Bertrand Iooss, Loïc Le Gratiet

A functional risk curve gives the probability of an undesirable event as a function of the value of a critical parameter of a considered physical system. In several applicative sit…

Optimal compromise between incompatible conditional probability distributions, with application to Objective Bayesian Kriging

Joseph Muré

Models are often defined through conditional rather than joint distributions, but it can be difficult to check whether the conditional distributions are compatible, i.e. whether th…

Conditional quantile sequential estimation for stochastic codes

Tatiana Labopin-Richard, Fabrice Gamboa, Aurélien Garivier +1

We propose and analyze an algorithm for the sequential estimation of a conditional quantile in the context of real stochastic codes with vectorvalued inputs. Our algorithm is based…

Derivative based global sensitivity measures

Serge Kucherenko, Bertrand Iooss

The method of derivative based global sensitivity measures (DGSM) has recently become popular among practitioners. It has a strong link with the Morris screening method and Sobol'…

PAC-Bayesian aggregation of affine estimators

Lucie Montuelle, Erwan Le Pennec

Aggregating estimators using exponential weights depending on their risk appears optimal in expectation but not in probability. We use here a slight overpenalization to obtain orac…

Emulators for stochastic simulation codes

Vincent Moutoussamy, Simon Nanty, Benoît Pauwels

Numerical simulation codes are very common tools to study complex phenomena, but they are often time-consuming and considered as black boxes. For some statistical studies (e.g. ass…

A consistent deterministic regression tree for non-parametric prediction of time series

Pierre Gaillard, Paul Baudin

We study online prediction of bounded stationary ergodic processes. To do so, we consider the setting of prediction of individual sequences and build a deterministic regression tre…

Maximum entropy copula with given diagonal section

Cristina Butucea, Jean-François Delmas, Anne Dutfoy +1

We consider copulas with a given diagonal section and compute the explicit density of the unique optimal copula which maximizes the entropy. In this sense, this copula is the least…

Numerical studies of space filling designs: optimization of Latin Hypercube Samples and subprojection properties

Guillaume Damblin, Mathieu Couplet, Bertrand Iooss

Quantitative assessment of the uncertainties tainting the results of computer simulations is nowadays a major topic of interest in both industrial and scientific communities. One o…

Density modification based reliability sensitivity analysis

Paul Lemaître, Ekatarina Sergienko, Aurélie Arnaud +3

Sensitivity analysis of a numerical model, for instance simulating physical phenomena, is useful to quantify the influence of the inputs on the model responses. This paper proposes…

Accelerated Monte Carlo estimation of failure probabilities in output of monotone computer codes

Nicolas Bousquet

The problem of estimating the probability p=P(g(X<0) is considered when X represents a multivariate stochastic input of a monotone function g. First, a heuristic method to bound p…
