Bayesian analysis of hierarchical multi-fidelity codes.
Résumé
This paper deals with the Gaussian process based approximation of a code which can be run at different levels of accuracy. This co-kriging method allows us to improve a surrogate model of a complex computer code using fast approximations of it. In particular, we focus on the case of a large number of code levels on the one hand and on a Bayesian approach when we have 2 levels on the other hand. Moreover, based on a Bayes linear formulation, an extension of the universal kriging equations are provided for the co-kriging model. We also address the problem of nested space-filling design for multi-fidelity computer experiments and we provide a significant simplification of the computation of the co-kriging cross-validation equations. A hydrodynamic simulator example is used to illustrate the comparison Bayesian versus non-Bayesian co-kriging. A thermodynamic example is used to illustrate the comparison between 2-level and 3-level co-kriging.
