Large complex models typically require inputs whose values are not known with certainty. Uncertainty analysis aims to quantify the overall uncertainty within a model, in order to support problem owners in model-based decision-making. In recent years there has been an explosion of interest in uncertainty analysis. Uncertainty and dependence elicitation, dependence modelling, model inference, efficient sampling, screening and sensitivity analysis, and probabilistic inversion are among tWiley series in probability and statistics.Uncertainty (Information theory)MathematicsElectronic books.Uncertainty (Information theory)Mathematics.003.54003/.54Kurowicka Dorota1967-474601Cooke Roger1942-731611MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910143550903321Uncertainty analysis with high dimensional dependence modelling1441399UNINA
