Active learning line sampling for rare event analysis

Jingwen Song et al.

Summary: This paper aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of Line Sampling (LS) algorithm through active learning and Gaussian process regression (GPR). A new learning function and adaptive algorithm are designed to enable the GPR model to accurately estimate the intersection points for all lines in LS scheme and increase the number of lines if necessary to improve the accuracy of failure probability estimation.

Bayesian probabilistic propagation of imprecise probabilities with large epistemic uncertainty

Pengfei Wei et al.

Summary: Efficient propagation of imprecise probability models is achieved through the development of a new methodology framework named NIPI, focusing on the distributional probability-box model and the estimation of probabilistic moments of model responses. By integrating spatial correlation information revealed by the GPR model, NIPI estimations with high accuracy are derived, and numerical errors are treated as epistemic uncertainty.

Augmented reliability analysis for estimating imprecise first excursion probabilities in stochastic linear dynamics

Matthias G. R. Faes et al.

Summary: This paper introduces an alternative approach to avoid the double loop in practical estimation of imprecise probability by replacing the problem with an augmented, purely aleatory reliability analysis. Through this approach, an explicit function of the imprecise parameters can be recovered from the augmented reliability problem, ultimately allowing the calculation of the imprecise probability. The proposed framework is shown to be highly efficient and accurate in two examples.

Efficient imprecise reliability analysis using the Augmented Space Integral

Xiukai Yuan et al.

Summary: This paper presents an efficient approach to compute the bounds on the reliability of a structure by decoupling a double-loop problem. The core idea is to infer a functional relationship between epistemic uncertain hyper-parameters and the probability of failure to determine the best and worst case behavior with respect to failure probability. Three case studies illustrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the developed methods.
