Structured Modeling with uncertainty
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper starts with the description of the modeling process as a dialog, and describes the associated formal functions, including the feedback supporting the growing mutual understanding. The dialog has a procedural and an informational aspect. For this latter a controlled grammar is used, that has a user friendly and a system friendly side. These sides are related via an elementary syntactical transformation. Assuming some elementary requirements on the dialog participants, we prove the main theorem for information modeling effectiveness. We also propose a system of metrics to support the modeling process. In terms of these metrics, modeling heuristics can be described and evaluated. We demonstrate our ideas by a simple sample session.

Uncertainty Propagation in Long-Term Structured Regression on Evolving Networks
In long-term forecasting it is important to estimate the confidence of predictions, as they are often affected by errors that are accumulated over the prediction horizon. To address this problem, an effective novel iterative method is developed for Gaussian structured learning models in this study for propagating uncertainty in temporal graphs by modeling noisy inputs. The proposed method is ap...
متن کاملCoprime Factor Based Closed-Loop Model Validation Applied to a Flexible Structure
This paper addresses the problem of checking the consistency of experimental closed-loop frequency-domain data with uncertainty models that are structured using coprime factorizations. The uncertainty models presented in this paper use the knowledge of a stabilizing feedback controller to structure and formulate the uncertainty on a model. Subsequently, the controller dependent coprime factor u...
متن کاملStructured uncertainty analysis of robust stability for multidimensional array systems
The paper considers one of the fundamental issues in design and analysis of sampled multidimensional systems that of uncertainty modeling and robust stability analysis. Methods of structured uncertainty analysis (μ-analysis) are extended towards systems with dynamical and non-causal spatial coordinates. The stability is understood in a broad sense and includes decay (localization) of system res...
متن کاملIdentification and Uncertainty Modeling for Multivariable Processes
The use of orthonormal functions and consistency relationships to identify models of multivariable processes and their uncertainty descriptions, is discussed in this paper. The norm-bounded uncertainty can be obtained from the covariance matrix of the parameters. Using a-priori consistency relationships, unstructured uncertainty may be converted to a structured one. The μ analysis shows that th...
متن کاملNumerical modeling of economic uncertainty
Representation and modeling of economic uncertainty is addressed by different modeling methods, namely stochastic variables and probabilities, interval analysis, and fuzzy numbers, in particular triple estimates. Fo-cusing on discounted cash flow analysis numerical results are presented, comparisons are made between alter-native modeling methods, and characteristics of the methods are discussed.
متن کاملComparison of Probabilistic and Stochastic Formulations in Modeling Growth Uncertainty and Variability
We compare two approaches for inclusion of uncertainty/variability in modeling growth in size-structured population models. One entails imposing a probabilistic structure on growth rates in the population while the other involves formulating growth as a stochastic Markov diffusion process. We present a theoretical analysis that allows one to include comparable levels of uncertainty in the two d...
