llnl-ibis 1.1.1

A tool to facilitate uncertainity quantification and sensitivity methods.

IBIS

LLNL's Interactive Bayesian Inference and Sensitivity, or IBIS, provides tools to enable understanding how the output of a model is impacted by uncertainty in its inputs. With the sensitivity module we can rank and visualize the effect of inputs on the computational model output. The mcmc module enables us to incorporate experimental data into our understanding of input and output distributions with Bayesian inference.

Sensitivity studies A variety of methods are availble in IBIS to understand and compare the impacts of model inputs.

• F-test: f_score
• mutual information score: mutual_info_score
• Lasso regression: lasso
• sensitivity with "spaghetti plot": sensitivity
• One-at-a-time study: including method of Morris
• Variance based sensitivity analysis: Sobol indices
• polynomial chaos expansion: pce_score

Associated modules - sensitivity - pce_model - plots

Bayesian Inference/Calibration A Bayesian posterior distribution can be estimated with IBIS's mcmc module. It can estimate input parameter uncertainty and model discrepancy. For more details refer to Bayesian Calibration of Computer Models.

• default mcmc: Metropolis-Hastings algorithm and multivariate normal likelihood
• discrepancy mcmc: We can additionally estimate "tau" model discrepancy parameters

Associated modules - mcmc - mcmc_diagnostics

Kosh operators If users have data in a Kosh store, it's convenient to use IBIS's Kosh operators to run the various sensitivity methods or create the mcmc object. The following operators are available:

• KoshMCMC
• KoshOneAtATimeEffects
• KoshSensitivityPlots

Contributing

Contributing to IBIS is relatively easy. Just send us a pull request. When you send your request, make develop the destination branch on the IBIS repository.

Your PR must pass IBIS's unit tests and documentation tests, and must be PEP 8 compliant. We enforce these guidelines with our CI process. To run these tests locally, and for helpful tips on git, see our Contribution Guide.

IBIS's develop branch has the latest contributions. Pull requests should target develop, and users who want the latest package versions, features, etc. can use develop.

Contributions should be submitted as a pull request pointing to the develop branch, and must pass IBIS's CI process; to run the same checks locally, use:

pytest tests/test_*.py
