QUESO stands for Quantification of Uncertainty for Estimation,
Simulation and Optimization.
QUESO is a collection of algorithms and other functionalities aimed
for the solution of statistical inverse problems, for the solution of
statistical forward problems, for the validation of a model and for
the prediction of quantities of interest from such model along with
the quantification of their uncertainties.
QUESO is designed for flexibility, portability, easiness of use and
easiness of extension. Its software design follows an object-oriented
approach and its code is written on C++ and over MPI. It can run over
uniprocessor or multiprocessor environments.
If you do not have a configure script in the top level directory,
run bootstrap to generate a configure script using autotools.
Before compiling, you must run the configure script. To run, type
./configure. Additional options may be provided if desired. Run
./configure --help for details.
After successfully running configure, type make to build the
QUESO library
Then type make install to install it in the directory previously
specified by the --prefix option of the configure script.
At a minimum, QUESO compilation requires MPI and linkage against two
external libraries:
QUESO also has several optional dependencies that enable additional functionality:
Should you be interested in using the optional infinite dimensional
capabilities of QUESO, then you also need the following dependencies:

Contributions are very welcome. If you wish to contribute, please
take a few moments to review the branching
model
QUESO utilizes.
If you have questions or need help with using or contributing to QUESO,
feel free to ask questions on one of the mailing lists:
- queso-users mailing list for questions regarding usage and reporting bugs
- queso-dev mailing list
for discussion regarding development of
QUESO
