Structural Reliability 10j - Conclusions
Просмотров 874 месяца назад
We conclude the Monte Carlo video series by discussing the strengths and limitations of different sampling-based methods in Monte Carlo simulations, including crude Monte Carlo, importance sampling, Latin hypercube, copulas, and metamodels. This video provides a comparative analysis of these techniques, focusing on their efficiency in terms of sample size, handling dependencies, managing small ...
Structural Reliability 10i - Metamodels
Просмотров 714 месяца назад
In this brief video, we explore the concept of metamodels used in Monte Carlo simulations. Metamodels are simplified functions that approximate expensive-to-evaluate functions in simulations, reducing computational intensity and potentially simplifying the problem by highlighting insignificant random variables. We discuss various types of metamodels such as polynomial functions, regression anal...

In this video, we explore the concept of copulas-a technique used in Monte Carlo simulations to simulate random variables from a joint distribution. Unlike the Nataf or Rosenblatt methods, copulas offer an alternative approach frequently utilized in finance, hydrology, and other fields dealing with dependent variables. We delve into the process of generating samples using marginal CDFs and the ...

6d - Epistemic uncertainty and PSHA
Просмотров 1904 месяца назад
Epistemic Uncertainty in Seismic Hazard Analysis In this video, we delve into epistemic uncertainty. Unlike aleatory uncertainty, which deals with natural randomness, epistemic uncertainty addresses our incomplete understanding of seismic processes. We discuss the use of logic trees to manage this uncertainty, illustrating how different model components (such as earthquake rates, maximum magnit...

    Excuse me, sir. Thank you for the video. But I don’t understand yet. Can you please give us an example about how to find variance and covariance of random vector, if expected values is real number?

    • @berke-ozgen
      @berke-ozgen 11 месяцев назад

      For variance, you need to construct an E[(X-E[X])]. E'[(X-E[X])] which is the second moment. This will give Var[X]. For the cov[X,Y], you should calculate E[X-mx, Y-my] .E'[X-mx, Y-my] (be careful because this includes Transpose.) Then you will have nxn matrix ((nx1) x (1xn) matrix gives nxn matrix). The diagonal of that matrix will include variances of each vector and the other terms are just covariances between related xi and yi. (m for mean) Hope that clears!

    How can we get for n random x values in one data set , n mean values? I mean if I have a data set with Gaussian shape, shouldn't have only one mean and sigma. Bu the way, I have a histogram showing counts per channel up to 1024 channels for instance. The example you gave at the minute of 13.14, how would you construct it if you had one mean and one sigma but a vector of random variables as in my example I tried to explain above? (instead of having the mean and Sigma matrices) Actually, in that exmple at the minute of 15.00, you decided to change x matrix having x1 and x1 variables to x (underlined matrix with x1 vector and x2 vector . That confused everything.

    • @berke-ozgen
      @berke-ozgen 11 месяцев назад

      I hope this answers: In X vector, we have x1, x2 and so xn. These xi variables also a vector containing numbers. So X is initially a set of random vectors. Then you will have different mean values for each x1, x2 and so xi.

  • @spyhunter0066
    @spyhunter0066 2 года назад

    How do you call x, mu and sigma in likelihood function of a Gaussian distribution in statistics or in math (Variable, domain, data, parameter in univariate, bivariate, and multivariate case seperately) ? I am also asking this when there is only one data point or when you have a data set of x, when you have a vector of mean and sigmas, so on , so forth. Thanks in advance.
