• Abstract summary: In reliability analysis, methods used to estimate failure probability are often limited by the costs associated with model evaluations. We introduce an entropy-based GP adaptive design that, when paired with MFIS, provides more accurate failure probability estimates. Illustrative examples are provided on benchmark data as well as an application to an impact damage simulator for National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) spacesuits.

• Abstract: In reliability analysis, methods used to estimate failure probability are often limited by the costs associated with model evaluations. Many of these methods, such as multifidelity importance sampling (MFIS), rely upon a computationally efficient, surrogate model like a Gaussian process (GP) to quickly generate predictions. The quality of the GP fit, particularly in the vicinity of the failure region(s), is instrumental in supplying accurately predicted failures for such strategies. We introduce an entropy-based GP adaptive design that, when paired with MFIS, provides more accurate failure probability estimates and with higher confidence. We show that our greedy data acquisition strategy better identifies multiple failure regions compared to existing contour-finding schemes. We then extend the method to batch selection, without sacrificing accuracy. Illustrative examples are provided on benchmark data as well as an application to an impact damage simulator for National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) spacesuits.

  Prediction-powered inference (PPI) is a method that improves statistical estimates based on limited human-labeled data. We propose a method called Stratified Prediction-Powered Inference (StratPPI) We show that the basic PPI estimates can be considerably improved by employing simple data stratification strategies.

We propose Average Thresholded Confidence (ATC), a practical method that learns a threshold on the model's confidence, predicting accuracy as the fraction of unlabeled examples.
