CSDMS 2015 annual Meeting - Models meet data, data meet models
WMT and the Dakota iterative systems analysis toolkit
Abstract
Dakota (https://dakota.sandia.gov) is an open-source software toolkit, designed and developed at Sandia National Laboratories, that provides a library of iterative systems analysis methods, including sensitivity analysis, uncertainty quantification, optimization, and parameter estimation. Dakota can be used to answer questions such as:
- What are the important parameters in my model?
- How safe, robust, and reliable is my model?
- What parameter values best match my observational data?
In this clinic, we'll provide an overview of Dakota, then, through WMT, set up and perform a series of numerical experiments with Dakota on beach, and evaluate the results.
