Acknowledgments Words cannot express my gratitude for the endless help and unfailing encouragement of those without whom I would not have accomplished this feat. I would like to thank my undergraduate advisor, Michael Holst, who believed in me before I did and offered me continuous advice and encouragement throughout my graduate career. I must also thank my committee, especially my advisors, J. Ron Elber, and former committee member, Peter Rossky, for their guidance and challenges that have enhanced the quality of this work. J. Tinsley Oden's contagious passion for predictive science, his vision and development of the discipline of computational science and engineering, and his insatiable appetite for learning have inspired and shaped this work. The many thought-provoking, theoretical discussions with Serge Prudhomme have, no doubt, had an unquantifiable impact on this work and my understanding and appreciation for this field. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Peter and Edith O'Donnell for the support they have given the for the many fruitful discussions and support throughout the past six years. I am indescribably grateful for the unconditional love and encouragement of Lauren Daiuto, Matthew Maupin, my parents, and the rest iv of my family, to whom this work is dedicated. This dissertation examines the development of coarse-grained models of atomistic systems for the purpose of predicting target quantities of interest in the presence of uncertainties. It addresses fundamental questions in computational science and engineering concerning model selection, calibration, and validation processes that are used to construct predictive reduced order models through a unified Bayesian framework. This framework, enhanced with the concepts of information theory, sensitivity analysis, and Occam's Razor, provides a systematic means of constructing coarse-grained models suitable for use in a prediction scenario. The novel application of a general framework of statistical calibration and validation to molecular systems is presented. Atomistic models, which themselves contain uncertainties, are treated as the ground truth and provide data for the Bayesian updating of model parameters. The open problem of the selection of appropriate coarse-grained models is addressed through the powerful notion of Bayesian model plausibility. vi A new, adaptive algorithm for model validation is presented. The Occam-Plausibility ALgorithm (OPAL), so named for its adherence to Occam's Razor and the use of Bayesian model plausibilities, identifies, among a large set of models, the simplest model that passes the Bayesian validation tests, and may therefore be used to predict chosen quantities …
