About UncertainSCI

UncertainSCI [1] is a Python-based toolkit that harnesses modern techniques to estimate model and parametric uncertainty, with a particular emphasis on needs for biomedical simulations and applications. This toolkit enables non-intrusive integration of these techniques with well-established biomedical simulation software.

Currently implemented in UncertainSCI is Polynomial Chaos Expansion (PCE) with a number of input distributions. For more information about these techniques, see: [2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. For studies using UncertainSCI, see: [7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
