Experiments have long been used to study the relationship between a set of inputs to a
physical system and the resulting output. Termed physical experiments in this text, there is a …

Climatology is, to a large degree, the study of the statistics of our climate. The powerful tools
of mathematical statistics therefore find wide application in climatological research. The …

We provide reasons and evidence supporting the informal rule that the number of runs for an
effective initial computer experiment should be about 10 times the input dimension. Our …

We present a framework that enables computer model evaluation oriented toward
answering the question: Does the computer model adequately represent reality? The …

Possible future changes in Arctic sea ice cover and thickness, and consequent changes in
the ice-albedo feedback, represent one of the largest uncertainties in the prediction of future …

This chapter and the next discuss how to select inputs at which to compute the output of a
computer experiment to achieve specific goals. The inputs one selects constitute the …

Behavior of the elastic–viscous–plastic (EVP) model for sea ice dynamics is explored, with
particular attention to a necessary numerical linearization of the internal ice stress term in …

In order to quickly approximate maximum likelihood estimators from massive data, this study
examines the optimal subsampling method under the A-optimality criterion (OSMAC) for …

In this paper we address the difficult problem of parameter-finding in image segmentation.
We replace a tedious manual process that is often based on guess-work and luck by a …
