Probabilistic Integration for Uncertainty Quantification in Differential Equation Models
Published on Jan 15, 20133856 Views
In this talk I discuss recent joint work with Oksana Chkrebtii, Prof. Dave Campbell and Prof. Mark Girolami, in which we develop a probabilistic formalism for solving systems of differential equations
