Emulation of random output simulators

Computer models, or simulators, are widely used in a range of scientific fields to aid understanding of the processes involved and make predictions. Such simulators are often computationally demanding and are thus not amenable to statistical analysis. Emulators provide a statistical approximation, or surrogate, for the simulators accounting for the additional approximation uncertainty. This thesis develops a novel sequential screening method to reduce the set of simulator variables considered during emulation. This screening method is shown to require fewer simulator evaluations than existing approaches. Utilising the lower dimensional active variable set simplifies subsequent emulation analysis. For random output, or stochastic, simulators the output dispersion, and thus variance, is typically a function of the inputs. This work extends the emulator framework to account for such heteroscedasticity by constructing two new heteroscedastic Gaussian process representations and proposes an experimental design technique to optimally learn the model parameters. The design criterion is an extension of Fisher information to heteroscedastic variance models. Replicated observations are efficiently handled in both the design and model inference stages. Through a series of simulation experiments on both synthetic and real world simulators, the emulators inferred on optimal designs with replicated observations are shown to outperform equivalent models inferred on space-filling replicate-free designs in terms of both model parameter uncertainty and predictive variance.

Adapting Arthur: The transformations and adaptations of Wirnt von Graffenberg's Wigalois

The stories of King Arthur and his noble knights have fascinated audiences for many centuries and continue to being retold and fashioned to attract modern audiences. Amongst these stories is the tale of Wigalois, the son of the reputable Gawain. This dissertation traces the story of Wigalois across different languages, cultures, and media in order to show how this is a shared German-Yiddish narrative. Furthermore, this dissertations challenges traditional understanding of adaptation within a diachronic and teleological framework by uncovering dialogical and dynamic processes inherent in this narrative tradition. Using the theoretical framework of a combined Adaptation Studies and Medieval Literature Studies’ notions of unstable texts my argumentation focuses on eight specific examples: Wirnt von Grafenberg’s Wigalois (1st half 13th ct.), Italian murals from the fourteenth century, Wigoleis von dem Rade (1483/93), Viduvilt (Yiddish, 16th ct.), Johann Christoph Wagenseil’s Belehrung der Jüdisch-Teutschen Red- und Schreibart (Yiddish and German, 1715), Gabein (Yiddish, 1789), the illustrations by Ludwig Richter (before 1851), and Die phantastischen Abenteuer der Glücksritters Wigalois (Comic, German, 2011).

Ruxia i Ruxianos w romansach rycerskich autorstwa Feliciano de Silva

W niniejszym artykule przeanalizowany został sposób wykorzystania przez Feliciano de Silva autentycznego toponimu Ruxia (Ruś) przy konstruowaniu świata przedstawionego w romansie rycerskim. Jak zostaje wykazane, Feliciano de Silva jedynie częściowo wpisuje się w tendencję zaobserwowaną wcześniej m.in. u Garci Rodrigueza de Montalvo, który w swoich dziełach nakreśla jasną opozycję pomiędzy chrześcijańskim światem błędnego rycerstwa a złym i nikczemnym pogaństwem. Autor z Ciudad Rodrigo, chcąc nawiązać do chwały średniowiecznego Konstantynopola, powraca do czasów konfliktu bizantyńsko-ruskiego, który twórczo wykorzystuje w aż trzech księgach Florisel de Niquea. Ruxia, jeden z głównych przeciwników greckiego rodu, przedstawiona zostaje jako pogańska potęga militarna, której przewodzą władcy odważni, lecz zarazem owładnięci żądzą, niemoralni i okrutni.
