Title: Rigorous Verification, Validation, Uncertainty Quantification, and Certification through Concentration-of-Measure Inequalities
Type of Document: Science Reports
Author(s): Lucas, L.J; Owhadi, H.; Ortiz, M.
We apply concentration-of-measure inequalities to the quantification of uncertainties in the performance of engineering systems. Specifically, we envision uncertainty quantification in the context of certification, i. e., as a tool for deciding whether a system is likely to perform safely and reliably within design specifications. We show that concentration-of-measure inequalities rigorously bound
