Stochastic and epistemic uncertainty propagation in LCA
Purpose: When performing uncertainty propagation, most LCA practitioners choose to represent uncertainties by single probability distributions and to propagate them using stochastic methods. However the selection of single probability distributions appears often arbitrary when faced with scarce information or expert judgement (epistemic uncertainty). Possibility theory has been developed over t...
متن کاملEpistemic Uncertainty Propagation in Reliability Assessment of Complex Systems
Uncertainties are present in any reliability calculations due to randomness in the failure/repair phenomena and given the limitation in assessing the parameters of the failure/repair probability density functions. The simplifications and idealizations also generate uncertainties which can be classified as aleatory (arising due to randomness) and/or epistemic (due to lack of knowledge). It is ve...
متن کاملRobustness-based portfolio optimization under epistemic uncertainty
In this paper, we propose formulations and algorithms for robust portfolio optimization under both aleatory uncertainty (i.e., natural variability) and epistemic uncertainty (i.e., imprecise probabilistic information) arising from interval data. Epistemic uncertainty is represented using two approaches: (1) moment bounding approach and (2) likelihood-based approach. This paper first proposes a ...
متن کاملJoint propagation of ontological and epistemic uncertainty across risk assessment and fuzzy time series models
This paper discusses hybrid probabilistic and fuzzy set approaches to propagating randomness and imprecision in risk assessment and fuzzy time series models. Stochastic and Computational Intelligence methods, such as Probability bounds analysis, Fuzzy -levels analysis, Fuzzy random vectors, Wavelets decomposition and Wavelets Networks are combined to capture different kinds of uncertainty. The...
متن کاملComparing uncertainty data in epistemic and ontic sense used to decision making problem
In the paper aspect of comparability alternatives in decision making problem by imprecise or incomplete information isexamined. In particular, new definitions of transitivity based on the measure of the intensity preference between pairsof alternatives in epistemic and ontic case is presented and its application to solve decision making problem is proposed.
