subset simulation
[ˈsʌbsɛt ˌsɪmjəˈleɪʃən]
nounpl: subset simulations
simulação de subconjuntos
1. A computational method in probabilistic analysis and rare event simulation that estimates low probability events by sequentially sampling from conditional probability distributions, progressively narrowing the sample space to focus on regions of interest.
Subset simulation is commonly used in structural reliability analysis to estimate the probability of failure in engineering systems.
A simulação de subconjuntos é comumente usada na análise de confiabilidade estrutural para estimar a probabilidade de falha em sistemas de engenharia.
2. A Monte Carlo-based sampling technique that breaks down a difficult rare event problem into a sequence of more frequent intermediate events, making computational analysis more efficient.
The engineer employed subset simulation to evaluate the risk of rare seismic events affecting the bridge structure.
O engenheiro empregou simulação de subconjuntos para avaliar o risco de eventos sísmicos raros que afetam a estrutura da ponte.
Subset simulation is primarily a technical term used in academic and professional engineering contexts. It originated from research in structural reliability and is now widely adopted in universities and research institutions across Brazil, Portugal, and internationally. The term is not subject to regional variations and remains consistent across all technical communities.
