STOCHASTIC POLYNOMIAL CHAOS EXPANSIONS TO EMULATE STOCHASTIC SIMULATORS

ABSTRAKT
In the context of uncertainty quantification, computational models are required to be repeatedly evaluated. This task is intractable for costly numerical models. Such a problem turns out to be even more severe for stochastic simulators, the output of which is a random variable for a given set of input parameters. To alleviate the computational burden, surrogate models are usually constructed and evaluated instead. However, due to the random nature of the model response, classical surrogate models cannot be applied directly to the emulation of stochastic simulators. To efficiently represent the probability distribution of the model output for any given input values, we develop a new stochastic surrogate model called stochastic polynomial chaos expansions. To this aim, we introduce a latent variable and an additional noise variable, on top of the well-defined input variables, to reproduce the stochasticity. As a result, for a given set of input parameters, the model output is given by a function of the latent variable with an additive noise, thus a random variable. Because the latent variable is purely artificial and does not have physical meanings, conventional methods (pseudo-spectral projections, collocation, regression, etc.) cannot be used to build such a model. In this paper, we propose an adaptive algorithm that does not require repeated runs of the simulator for the same input parameters. The performance of the proposed method is compared to the generalized lambda model and a state-of-the-art kernel estimator on two case studies in mathematical finance and epidemiology and on an analytical example whose response distribution is bimodal. The results show that the proposed method is able to accurately represent general response distributions, i.e., not only normal or unimodal ones. In terms of accuracy, it generally outperforms both the generalized lambda model and the kernel density estimator.
