Is My Model Good Enough? Best Practices for Verification and Validation of Musculoskeletal Models and Simulations of Movement
TL;DR: Practical guidelines for verification and validation of NMS models and simulations are established that researchers, clinicians, reviewers, and others can adopt to evaluate the accuracy and credibility of modeling studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
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
Anirban Basudhar,Samy Missoum +1 more
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
Sankaran Mahadevan,Ramesh Rebba +1 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Reliability Estimation of Solder Joint Utilizing Thermal Fatigue Models
TL;DR: In this article, the first order Taylor series expansion of the limit state function (LSF) incorporating with thermal fatigue models is used in order to estimate the failure probability of solder joints under heated condition.
Reliability-Based Methods for Electric System Decision Making
TL;DR: In this paper, a reliability-based optimization approach is used to solve complex electrical grid usage problems, which incorporates local decision makers' preferences by enforcing probabilistic constraints on the overall optimization problem.

Dimension Reduction-based Reliability Analysis for Dependent Interval Variables
Shibshankar Dey,Kais Zaman +1 more
TL;DR: Two numerical examples have been solved using the proposed methodology to deal both epistemic uncertainty and dependency among interval variables as evident in real life example.
Ac 2011-143: rewarding levels of knowledge in graduate student exams
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a method for appropriately rewarding various levels of knowledge in graduate student exams, which encourages students to come to the examination unprepared and relying on the hints from the instructors.
