UQTestFuns: A Python3 Library of Uncertainty Quantification Test Functions

UQTestFuns is an open-source Python3 library of test functions commonly used within the uncertainty quantification (UQ) community. The package aims to provide:

• a lightweight implementation (with minimal dependencies) of many test functions available in the UQ literature
• a single entry point (combining models and their probabilistic input specification) to a wide range of test functions
• an opportunity for an open-source contribution where new test functions and reference results are posted.

In short, UQTestFuns is an homage to the Virtual Library of Simulation Experiments (VLSE).

v0.3.0 includes 7 new test functions used in the context of reliability analysis (rare-events estimation). They represent a whole new class of problem now supported by UQTestFuns.
