In general, an ability to predict and understand uncertainties enables for better decision making to mitigate the risks associated with those uncertainties.
In test planning, sampling-based sensitivity analyses can be run to identify the most critical system inputs to investigate. Predictive models can be used in real system applications, for example in predictive maintenance or training a model to act as a virtual sensor to provide readings on a fielded part or component that normally could only be collected under test settings due to cost or complexity. Rapid predictive models that can be recalibrated to changing physical conditions are also a key part of creating and maintaining an authoritative digital surrogate truth source for digital twin applications.

DOEs and data sampling allow users to select data that should be collected or to select a representative sample from a larger existing data set. In both cases the goal is intelligent collection or selection of data to best train an accurate predictive model. The data source can be physics-based simulation models, but also real world physical or experimental data. Once data has been collected, SmartUQ’s predictive modeling tools are used to build a statistical model of the underlying system or process that generated the training data. The rapid predictive capabilities of the model can then be leveraged to easily and efficiently perform analytics to gain insights into the system.
