Uncertainty Analysis for Heavy Simulations of Galaxy Formation

Vernon, Ian

Abstract

Extremely complex simulations of the universe are now being performed in order to study galaxy formation. The responsible use of such simulations presents a huge challenge as it requires a comprehensive uncertainty analysis: a seemingly impossible task. We present a framework to address this challenge, based on state-of-the-art Bayesian methodology.
