Abstract

The Bayesian approach to uncertainty quantification is popular, powerful and successful. We will describe an alternative geometric formulation for this approach, based around viewing expectation, rather than probability as the primitive quantity for uncertainty quantification. The geometric view greatly simplifies the formulation and solution of many large and complex problems in uncertainty quantification, and leads to several natural and powerful extensions. The approach will be illustrated by an example in uncertainty quantification for global climate simulators.
