Adaptive Designs of Experiments for Accurate Approximation of a Target Region

TL;DR: An iterative strategy to build designs of experiments is proposed, which is based on an explicit trade-off between reduction of global uncertainty and exploration of the regions of interest, which shows that a substantial reduction of error can be achieved in the crucial regions.

Adaptive explicit decision functions for probabilistic design and optimization using support vector machines

TL;DR: This article presents a methodology to generate explicit decision functions using support vector machines (SVM) and proposes an adaptive sampling scheme that updates the decision function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Validation of reliability computational models using Bayes networks

TL;DR: The methodology includes uncertainty in the experimental measurement, and the posterior and prior distributions of the model output are used to compute a validation metric based on Bayesian hypothesis testing.

Adaptive probability analysis using an enhanced hybrid mean value method

TL;DR: In this article, an adaptive probability analysis method is proposed to generate the probability distribution of the output performance function by identifying the propagation of input uncertainty to output uncertainty, which is based on an enhanced hybrid mean value (HMV+) analysis in the performance measure approach.
