In science and engineering fields, failing to account for uncertainty turns confidence into overconfidence. That’s when mistakes happen.
In this webcast, Predictum’s Philip Ramsey, Ph.D., explores how to recognize and quantify uncertainty in predictive modeling.
This session will further explore the how traditional statistical methods fail to provide experts with accurate predictions regarding complex physical systems found in product and process development, and how advances in small experimental designs with machine learning can restore highly accurate, reliable prediction.
Whether you’re improving product formulations, designing manufacturing processes, or advancing research in applied science, tune in and learn how you can:
- Discover practical tools in SVEM 2.0 for quantifying prediction uncertainty
- Learn how to interpret and act on uncertainty estimates
- Build more reliable models that reflect the real complexity of your system
- Identify why traditional data collection and modeling methods fail to provide reliable uncertainty estimates across design spaces, that improve the accuracy of predictions
