Abstract: Finite dimensional (FD) models, i.e., deterministic functions of space depending on finite sets of random variables, are used extensively in applications to generate samples of random fields $Z(x)$ and construct approximations of solutions $U(x)$ of ordinary or partial differential equations whose random coefficients depend on $Z(x)$. FD models of $Z(x)$ and $U(x)$ constitute surrogates of these random fields which target various properties, e.g., mean/correlation functions or sample properties. We establish conditions under which samples of FD models can be used as substitutes for samples of $Z(x)$ and $U(x)$ for two types of random fields $Z(x)$ and a simple stochastic equation. Some of these conditions are illustrated by numerical examples.
