This Project Grant award of $250,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the development of a new Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) inference method called SHREK. The goal is to create a more efficient MCMC algorithm that exploits the multi-fidelity nature of many scientific and engineering models to accelerate computational inference. The project team at the Regents of the University of California at Riverside plans to:...
