Developing Efficient Strategies for Automatic Calibration of Computationally Intensive Environmental Models
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-25)Environmental simulation models have been playing a key role in civil and environmental engineering decision making processes for decades. The utility of an environmental model depends on how well the model is structured ... -
Improving the efficiency of Monte Carlo Bayesian calibration of hydrologic models via model pre-emption
(International Water Association, 2015-09-01)Bayesian inference via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling and sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) sampling are popular methods for uncertainty analysis in hydrological modelling. However, application of these methodologies ... -
Uncertainty Analysis and Control of Multiscale Process Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-13)Microelectronic market imposes tight requirements upon thin film properties, including specific growth rate, surface roughness and thickness of the film. In the thin film deposition process, the microscopic events determine ... -
Uncertainty Analysis and Robust Optimization of a Single Pore in a Heterogeneous Catalytic Flow Reactor System
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-31)Catalytic systems are crucial to a wide number of chemical production processes, and as a result there is significant demand to develop novel catalyst materials and to optimize existing catalytic reactor systems. These ... -
Uncertainty-based multi-criteria calibration of rainfall-runoff models: a comparative study
(Springer, 2014-08-01)This study compares formal Bayesian inference to the informal generalized likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE) approach for uncertainty-based calibration of rainfall-runoff models in a multi-criteria context. Bayesian ...
