1) The document discusses using large datasets from scientific simulations to analyze uncertainty quantification (UQ) through techniques like randomized parameter studies and reduced order modeling.
2) The author presents work using PageRank as a test case for examining UQ and developing generalized methods for studying parameterized matrix equations.
3) The approach involves constructing an interpolating reduced order model from an ensemble of pre-computed simulation runs stored in a data cluster to enable engineers to efficiently query simulation data for statistical analysis and UQ studies without running new expensive simulations.
