Uncertainty analysis of river flooding and dam failure risks using local sensitivity computations
The potential of Local Sensitivity Analysis (LSA) for analysis of uncertainty with respect to two major risks in river hydrodynamics flash flood and dam failure is assessed. LSA, implemented as an equation-based method, is compared to a Global Uncertainty Analysis (GUA) consisting in running Monte Carlo simulations with a hydrodynamic model. For a given statistical distribution of the model inp...
متن کاملQuantifying Uncertainty In Reserve Estimates
________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Property/casualty reserves are estimates of losses and loss development and as such will not match the ultimate results. Sources of error include model error (the methodology used does not accurately reflect the development process), parameter error (model parameters are calibrated from the data), and process erro...
متن کاملTests of consequence monotonicity in decision making under uncertainty.
Consequence monotonicity means that if 2 gambles differ only in 1 consequence, the one having the better consequence is preferred. This property has been sustained in direct comparisons but apparently fails for some gamble pairs when they are ordered in terms of judged monetary certainty equivalents. In Experiments 1 and 3 a judgment procedure was compared with 2 variants of a choice procedure....
متن کاملInvestigating the vulnerability downstream area of Taleghan dam due to dam failure
Due to the immense damage caused by dam failure, especially dams constructed near large cities, it is necessary to consider the breaking phenomena as well as studying and designing different parts of the dam. For this purpose, the hydrograph of the outflow due to dam failure must be identified according to size of the fracture and then flood routing, and flood zone must be determined based on t...
متن کاملHow to Describe Measurement Uncertainty and Uncertainty of Expert Estimates?
Measurement and expert estimates are never absolutely accurate. Thus, when we know the result M(u) of measurement or expert estimate, the actual value A(u) of the corresponding quantity may be somewhat different from M(u). In practical applications, it is desirable to know how different it can be, i.e., what are the bounds f(M(u)) ≤ A(u) ≤ g(M(u)). Ideally, we would like to know the tightest bo...
