"Thinking inside the box" : using derivatives to improve Bayesian black box emulation of computer simulators with application to compartmental models

Increasingly, science relies on complex numerical models to aid understanding of physical phenomena. Often the equations in such models contain a high number of poorly known parameters so that the resulting output encodes much uncertainty. A 'computer simulator', which comprises the model...
