Plots

There are various plot functions that were primarily used to visualize the results of important VVUQ steps and to generate the figures for the publications. Many examples can be found after scrolling through the papers. Plots are also included in the exemplary config files so that they will be generated at the end of the VVUQ process. The code currently offers the following plot functions:

Plot Type

Description

Scenario

Samples across the scenario space

Time Series

Quantities over time

Time Series R79

Special time signal constellation of the UNECE-R79 use case

KPI

Assessment KPIs across the scenario space

CDF

CDFs to visualize the scatter from non-deterministic simulations

Metric

Area metric between measurement and simulation CDFs

Extrapolation

Model errors across the scenario space

Uncertainty Expansion

Uncertainty expansion of non-deterministic simulations

Error Integration

Error integration of deterministic simulations

Decision

Binary decision making results across the scenario space

In addition to the plots, there is a binary classifier implemented under the category “evaluation” (and a new area metric that is not relevant at the moment). The classifier compares the model predictions based on uncertainty with the true values in the application domain, if available, as is the case in [Riedmaier.2021b].
