A new Bayesian method estimates error bars for model predictions by analyzing model ensembles. This approach accurately quantifies uncertainties in interatomic potentials for molybdenum, improving material property predictions.

Area of Science:

  • Computational materials science
  • Statistical modeling
  • Bayesian inference

Background:

  • Accurate prediction of material properties relies on reliable models.
  • Quantifying uncertainty in model predictions is crucial for assessing reliability.
  • Interatomic potentials are essential for simulating material behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Develop a general Bayesian method to estimate error bars on model predictions.
  • Apply this method to assess uncertainties in interatomic potentials for molybdenum.
  • Evaluate the accuracy of the estimated error bars.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a Bayesian approach to model fitting and uncertainty quantification.
  • Generated ensembles of models by sampling parameter space based on minimum cost.
