In this paper we compare four methods for the reliable propagation of uncertainty through calculations involving the binary operations of addition, multiplication, subtraction and division. The methods we investigate are: (i) dependency bounds convolution; (ii) Distribution Envelope Determination; (iii) interval probabilities; and (iv) Dempster–Shafer belief functions. We show that although eac...

This paper presents distance and angle measurements based Multi-Hop Adaptive and Iterative Localization algorithm for localization of unknown nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The present work determines uncertainty region of unknown nodes with respect to known (anchor) nodes using noisy distance and angle measurements. This node transmits its uncertainty region to other unknown nodes t...

Starting from considerations about meaning and subsequent use of asymmetric uncertainty intervals of experimental results, we review the issue of uncertainty propagation. We show that, using a probabilistic approach (the so-called Bayesian approach), all sources of uncertainty can be included in a logically consistent way. Practical formulae for the rst moments of the probability distribution a...

A framework for the analysis of error propagation for high rate runlength-limited codes is developed. The susceptibility to errors of capacity approaching code constructions, the enumerative and sequence replacement technique and bit stuffing, are analyzed in detail. It is shown that the first two techniques experience low error propagation and that they are superior to the popular bit-stuffing...
