Dr. Ye talked about detailed mathematical calibration during the course. He elaborated on sensitivity analysis, model calibration and uncertainty analysis from their basic theories to application. Focuses were also laid on non-linear regression model and Bayesian model. Besides theories, he asked audience to practice on their own computers to get familiarized with software such as ModelMuse and UCODE. He also conducted deepened academic exchanges with audience on detailed approaches in model calibration.
