Title: Aspects of modeling uncertainty and prediction

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10129394

Probabilistic assessment of variability in model prediction considers input uncertainty and structural uncertainty. For input uncertainty, understanding of practical origins of probabilistic treatments as well as restrictions and limitations of methodology is much more developed than for structural uncertainty. There is a simple basis for structural uncertainty that parallels that for input uncertainty. Although methodologies for assessing structural uncertainty for models in general are very limited, more options are available for submodels.
