Surrogate-Guided Adaptive Importance Sampling for Failure Probability Estimation

Ashwin Renganathan, Annie S. Booth

We consider the sample efficient estimation of failure probabilities from expensive oracle evaluations of a limit state function via importance sampling (IS). In contrast to conven…

Gradient-enhancement and Gradient Predictions for Deep Gaussian Process Modeling of Expensive Computer Experiments

Annie S. Booth

Deep Gaussian processes (DGPs) are popular surrogate models for complex nonstationary computer experiments. DGPs use one or more latent Gaussian processes (GPs) to warp the input s…

Actively Learning Joint Contours of Multiple Computer Experiments

Shih-Ni Prim, Kevin R. Quinlan, Paul Hawkins +2

Contour location---the process of sequentially training a surrogate model to identify the design inputs that result in a pre-specified response value from a single computer experim…

Revisiting Penalized Likelihood Estimation for Deterministic Computer Experiments

Ayumi Mutoh, Annie S. Booth, Jonathan W. Stallrich

Gaussian processes (GPs) are popular as nonlinear regression models for expensive computer simulations, yet GP performance relies heavily on estimation of unknown covariance parame…

Two-stage Design for Failure Probability Estimation with Gaussian Process Surrogates

Annie S. Booth, S. Ashwin Renganathan

We tackle the problem of quantifying failure probabilities for expensive deterministic computer experiments with stochastic inputs under a fixed budget. The computational cost of t…

Monotonic warpings for additive and deep Gaussian processes

Steven D. Barnett, Lauren J. Beesley, Annie S. Booth +2

Gaussian processes (GPs) are canonical as surrogates for computer experiments because they enjoy a degree of analytic tractability. But that breaks when the response surface is con…
