Bayesian model averaging assessment on groundwater management under model structure uncertainty

Abstract: This study introduces Bayesian model averaging (BMA) to deal with model structure uncertainty in groundwater management decisions. A robust optimized policy should take into account model parameter uncertainty as well as uncertainty in imprecise model structure. Due to a limited amount of groundwater head data and hydraulic conductivity data, multiple simulation models are developed based on different head boundary condition values and semivariogram models of hydraulic conductivity. Instead of selecting the be… Show more

“…There are many literatures about the methods of uncertainty analysis, for example, classical Bayesian techniques (Rojas et al 2010;Singh et al 2010;Tsai 2010), pseudoBayesian (Beven and Binley 1992;Beven and Freer 2001;Hassan et al 2008), geostatistics techniques (Feyen and Caers 2006;Feyen et al 2003;Liang et al 2009), and others. Generally, these methods are mainly focus on inversion of model parameters and uncertainty assessment of model output.…”

“…When developing a conceptual model to represent a subsurface formation, uncertainties in model data, structure, and parameters always exist. To accommodate for different sources of uncertainty, strategies as model selection, model elimination, model reduction, model discrimination, and model combination are commonly used to reach a robust model, using single‐model approaches [ Cardiff and Kitanidis , ; Demissie et al ., ; Engdahl et al ., ; Feyen and Caers , ; Kitanidis , ; Gaganis and Smith , ; Irving and Singha , ; Nowak et al ., ; Wingle and Poeter , ] or multimodel approaches [ Doherty and Christensen , ; Li and Tsai , ; Morales‐Casique et al ., ; Neuman , ; Refsgaard et al ., ; Rojas et al ., ; Singh et al ., ; Troldborg et al ., ; Tsai and Li , ; Tsai , ; Ye et al ., ; Wöhling and Vrugt , ].…”

“…Wagener and Gupta [] remark that an uncertainty assessment framework should be able to account for the level of contribution of the different sources of uncertainty to the overall uncertainty. In the groundwater area, to advance beyond collection multimodel methods, Li and Tsai [] and Tsai [] present a BMA approach that can separate two sources of uncertainty, which arise from different conceptual models and different parameter estimation methods. These were the first two studies to extend the collection BMA formulation of Hoeting et al .…”

“…This technique, called model averaging, incorporates the uncertainty associated with model selection into predictions of unknown variables (Hjort and Claeskens, 2003). The model averaging approach has in recent years been applied to several hydrological model applications (Diks and Vrugt, 2010;Tsai, 2010).…”
