A Sensitivity Matrix Methodology For Inverse Problem Formulation, Ariel Cintron-Arias, H. T. Banks, Alex Capaldi, Alun L. Lloyd

Mathematics and Computer Science Faculty Publications

We propose an algorithm to select parameter subset combinations that can be estimated using an ordinary least-squares (OLS) inverse problem formulation with a given data set. First, the algorithm selects the parameter combinations that correspond to sensitivity matrices with full rank. Second, the algorithm involves uncertainty quantification by using the inverse of the Fisher Information Matrix. Nominal values of parameters are used to construct synthetic data sets, and explore the effects of removing certain parameters from those to be estimated using OLS procedures. We quantify these effects in a score for a vector parameter defined using the norm of the …
