We present a Bayesian approach to to nonlinear inverse problems in which the unknown quantity is a random field (spatial or temporal). The Bayesian approach contains a natural mechanism for regularization in the form of prior information, can incorporate information from from heterogeneous sources and provide a quantitative assessment of uncerta...

Network inference algorithms, and in particular Bayesian networks algorithms, are being applied with growing regularity in computational molecular biology to recover gene regulatory networks from gene expression data. However, the basic task at hand -- to predict causal relationships based on repeated concurrent measurements of multiple variable...

The Bayesian Hierarchical Model (BHM) methodology has been applied to thegeneration of ensemble ocean surface vector winds in a sequence of increasingly sophisticated models. This history is briefly reviewed to establish theapproach to BHM development in atmosphere-ocean contexts. Recently,ensemble surface winds and wind stresses are obtained fr...

When computational constraints prohibit model evaluation at all but a small number of parameter settings, a dimension-reduced emulator of the system can be constructed and interrogated at arbitrary parameter regimes. Existing approaches to emulation consider models with deterministic output. However, in many cases the underlying mathematical mod...

In recent years, the composites community has increasingly used molecular dynamics to simulate and explore material properties such as glass-transition temperature and yield strain. In virtually all such simulations, a key challenge is to select one or more input structures that represent the real polymer matrix at the nanoscale. Often an approp...

A Bayesian formulation adapted from Kennedy and O'Hagan (2001) andHigdon et al. (2008) is used to give parameter constraints fromphysical observations and a limited number of simulations. The frameworkis based on the idea of replacing the simulator by an emulator whichcan then be used to facilitate computations required for the analysis.In this ...
