Abstract

Extremely complex simulations of the universe are now being performed in order to study galaxy formation. The responsible use of such simulations presents a huge challenge as it requires a comprehensive uncertainty analysis: a seemingly impossible task. We present a framework to address this challenge, based on state-of-the-art Bayesian methodology.
