| contents | We formulate a novel approach to solve a class of stochastic problems, referred to as data-consistent inverse (DCI) problems, which involve the characterization of a probability measure on the parameters of a computational model whose subsequent push-forward matches an observed probability measure on specified quantities of interest (QoI) typically associated with the outputs from the computational model. Whereas prior DCI solution methodologies focused on either constructing non-parametric estimates of the densities or the probabilities of events associated with the pre-image of the QoI map, we develop and analyze a constrained quadratic optimization approach based on estimating push-forward measures using weighted empirical distribution functions. The method proposed here is more suitable for low-data regimes or high-dimensional problems than the density-based method, as well as for problems where the probability measure does not admit a density. Numerical examples are included to demonstrate the performance of the method and to compare with the density-based approach where applicable. |
