@misc{10481/55333, year = {2018}, month = {9}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10481/55333}, abstract = {Optimizing an experimental design is a complex task when a model is required for indirect reconstruction of physical parameters from the sensor readings. In this work, a formulation is proposed to unify the probabilistic reconstruction of mechanical parameters and an optimization problem. An information-theoretic framework combined with a new metric of information density is formulated providing several comparative advantages: (i) a straightforward way to extend the formulation to incorporate additional concurrent models, as well as new unknowns such as experimental design parameters in a probabilistic way; (ii) the model causality required by Bayes’ theorem is overridden, allowing generalization of contingent models; and (iii) a simpler formulation that avoids the characteristic complex denominator of Bayes’ theorem when reconstructing model parameters. The first step allows the solving of multiple-model reconstructions. Further extensions could be easily extracted, such as robust model reconstruction, or adding alternative dimensions to the problem to accommodate future needs.}, organization = {This research was supported by the Ministry of Education DPI2014-51870-R, DPI2017-85359-R and UNGR15-CE-3664, Ministry of Health DTS15/00093 and PI16/00339, and Junta de Andalucía PIN-0030-2017 and PI-0107-2017 projects, and university of Granada PP2017-PIP2019.}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Inverse problem}, keywords = {Inference Bayesian updating}, keywords = {Model-class selection}, keywords = {Stochastic Inverse problem}, keywords = {Probability logic}, keywords = {Experimental design}, title = {Logical Inference Framework for Experimental Design of Mechanical Characterization Procedures}, author = {Rus Carlborg, Guillermo and Melchor, Juan}, }
