Inverse uncertainty quantification using the modular Bayesian approach based on Gaussian process, Part 1: Theory

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 335, 339–355.

author keywords: Inverse uncertainty quantification; Bayesian calibration; Gaussian process; Modular Bayesian; Model discrepancy
topics (OpenAlex): Probabilistic and Robust Engineering Design; Scientific Measurement and Uncertainty Evaluation; Fault Detection and Control Systems
TL;DR: This paper used Bayesian analysis to establish the inverse UQ formulation, with systematic and rigorously derived metamodels constructed by Gaussian Process (GP), and proposed an improved modular Bayesian approach that can avoid extrapolating the model discrepancy that is learnt from the inverseUQ domain to the validation/prediction domain.
