Uncertainty propagation or box propagation
This paper discusses the use of recently developed techniques and software in the numerical propagation of uncertainties in initial coordinates and/or parameters for initial value problems. We present an approach based on several validated numerical integration techniques but focusing on the propagation of boxes. The procedure uses a multivariable high order Taylor series development of the sol...
متن کاملUncertainty propagation in nuclear forensics
Uncertainty propagation formulae are presented for age dating in support of nuclear forensics. The age of radioactive material in this context refers to the time elapsed since a particular radionuclide was chemically separated from its decay product(s). The decay of the parent radionuclide and ingrowth of the daughter nuclide are governed by statistical decay laws. Mathematical equations allow ...
متن کاملEfficient Uncertainty Propagation for Reinforcement Learning with Limited Data
In a typical reinforcement learning (RL) setting details of the environment are not given explicitly but have to be estimated from observations. Most RL approaches only optimize the expected value. However, if the number of observations is limited considering expected values only can lead to false conclusions. Instead, it is crucial to also account for the estimator’s uncertainties. In this pap...
متن کاملFitting surfaces to data with covariances
We are concerned with solving an equation whose form is applicable to a wide class of problems arising in computer vision. The equation typically relates image point locations to the parameters of some appropriate model. We assume that each measured datum is accompanied by a covariance matrix that characterises the uncertainty of the measurement. Noisy data are assumed to be in plentiful supply...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis and Uncertainty Propagation from Basic Nuclear Data to Reactor Physics and Safety Relevant Parameters
Reliable knowledge of the uncertainties in important reactor parameters, like criticality, radiation load on the reactor components, neutron/gamma ray flux, nuclear heating and dose are crucial for nuclear safety concerns. Uncertainties are introduced either through the calculational algorithms or through the data uncertainties. The paper addresses the uncertainties in the reactor parameters li...
