Journal Article
Goldstein, M., Vernon, I., & Cumming, J. (in press). Systematic structural discrepancy assessment for computer models. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences,

Model or structural discrepancy is an essential component in the analysis of computer simulators, representing the differences between the outputs of the simulator and the real world system that the simulator seeks to represent. This discrepancy can... Read More about Systematic structural discrepancy assessment for computer models.

ON JACOBI-WEIERSTRASS MOCK MODULAR FORMS (2025)
Journal Article
