“…This paper is devoted to this framework: learning from a high‐dimensional small data set, without invoking the Gaussian assumption. The first ingredient of the proposed approach is the probabilistic learning on manifolds (PLoM) presented in the work of Soize and Ghanem, for which complementary developments and applications with validation are presented in other works. This PLoM allows for constructing a generated data set made up of M additional independent realizations of a non‐Gaussian random vector X , defined on a probability space , with values in , for which the probability distribution P X ( d x ) is unknown, using only an initial data set D N (training set), which is a small data set, made up of N independent realizations { x j , j =1,…, N } of X with x j = X ( θ j ) for θ j ∈Θ and such that M ≫ N .…”
