Abstract:
Based on the Weiner-Hermite polynomial chaos expansion, the stochastic Galerkin method efficiently computes nu- merical solutions for stochastic systems. Unlike such tech- niques as sensitivity analysis, perturbation methods, and second moment-analysis, this method is applicable to a large number of systems while requiring less computational effort than sampling based stochastic methods like Monte Carlo. We utilize the stochastic Galerkin method to assess the impact of stochastic rate coefficients on the predictions of Markovian cardiac ion channel models
