Basis Polynomial Family

askey

Select the standardized random variables (and associated basis polynomials) from the Askey family that best match the user-specified random variables.

wiener

Use standard normal random variables (along with Hermite orthogonal basis polynomials) when transforming to a standardized probability space.

Optional

Description

Selects a multifidelity polynomial chaos expansion (MF PCE) surrogate model to use in the Bayesian likelihood calculations. Most specification options are carried over for using MF PCE as a surrogate within the Bayesian framework.
