Reduced-Order Models and Conditional Expectation: Analysing Parametric Low-Order Approximations by Hermann G. Matthies

“…This set may be seen as a sample from some probability distribution, and thus the training is an approximate computation of the expectation, giving an approximation of the conditional expectation—a special case of Bayesian updating, where the Bayesian loss function is the mean square error. This offers the possibility of having a combined view of these methods and also of introducing more general loss functions.…”
