EasyVVUQ

Basic architecture in place for creating UQ workflows, including elements for:

  • reading input defining the parameter space of interest
  • Campaign object to record runs required for analysis
  • Samplers to create runs required for a given analysis workflow
  • creating simulation inputs (Encoders)
  • reading and interpreting simulation outputs (Decoders)
  • collation of output from multiple runs into a pandas dataframe for analysis
  • simple statistical analysis
