About the Book

This book offers a comprehensive and practical introduction to uncertainty quantification in supervised machine learning. It is written for researchers and practitioners with a good mathematical background and includes applications in fields such as cosmology and infectious disease forecasting.

Topics include:

  • Conditional density estimation with mixtures and neural networks
  • Gaussian Processes and Bayesian Additive Regression Trees
  • Conformal prediction and calibration methods
  • Uncertainty decomposition (aleatoric and epistemic)
  • Likelihood-free inference and simulation-based inference

Hands-on examples and code are available in the accompanying GitHub repository.
