Group assignment 1.6: Icy Dicey Propagation

Group assignment 1.6: Icy Dicey Propagation#

Due: 12:30 on Friday, October 10th, 2025.

You can preview this assignment on https://mude.citg.tudelft.nl/workbook-2025/assignments/GA1.6/README.html. After the deadline, this link will include solutions. The preview of the assignment version is shared here: https://mude.citg.tudelft.nl/workbook-2025/no_solutions/assignments/GA1.6/README.html. Pages can be downloaded as .md and .ipynb files to your computer. You can obtain your personal repository for submission on: https://classroom.github.com/a/Cpz9Oc2g

GA 1.6 concerns the propagation of uncertainty, in particular focusing on the first two moments: Mean and Variance. This is done via an analytical approach, i.e. Taylor approximation that allows propagating moments of the distribution, and later with a numerical approach, i.e. mean-variance sample estimation based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulations.

Ultimately, the two strategies are compared in the Python Jupiter Notebook, and discussed by the students in a short report.

Evaluation remark#

Make sure to finalize the Report (more important!), and that files are in the root directory of this repository (i.e., same as this README file).
