  We present a new method for statistical verification of quantitative
properties over a partially unknown system with actions, utilising a
parameterised model (in this work, a parametric Markov decision process) and
data collected from experiments performed on the underlying system. We obtain
the confidence that the underlying system satisfies a given property, and show
that the method uses data efficiently and thus is robust to the amount of data
available. These characteristics are achieved by firstly exploiting parameter
synthesis to establish a feasible set of parameters for which the underlying
system will satisfy the property; secondly, by actively synthesising
experiments to increase amount of information in the collected data that is
relevant to the property; and finally propagating this information over the
model parameters, obtaining a confidence that reflects our belief whether or
not the system parameters lie in the feasible set, thereby solving the
verification problem.
