The estimation of parameters in nonlinear, implicit measurement error models with experiment-wide measurements
Anderson, K.K. - 2008
Measurement error modeling is a statistical approach to the estimation of unknown model parameters which takes into account the measurement errors in all of the data. Approaches which ignore the measurement errors in so-called independent variables may yield inferior estimates of unknown model...

Combination of Evidence in Dempster-Shafer Theory
SENTZ, KARI; FERSON, SCOTT - 2008
Dempster-Shafer theory offers an alternative to traditional probabilistic theory for the mathematical representation of uncertainty. The significant innovation of this framework is that it allows for the allocation of a probability mass to sets or intervals. Dempster-Shafer theory does not...

Principles and applications of measurement and uncertainty analysis in research and calibration
Wells, C.V. - 2008
Interest in Measurement Uncertainty Analysis has grown in the past several years as it has spread to new fields of application, and research and development of uncertainty methodologies have continued. This paper discusses the subject from the perspectives of both research and calibration...

Uncertainty vs. Interindividual variability
Bogen, K.T. - 2008
Distinct treatment of uncertainty and interindividual variability in variates used to model risk ensures that quantitative assessments of these attributes in modeled risk are maximally relevant to potential regulatory concerns. For example, such a distinction is required for quantitative...

Solid low-level waste forecasting guide
Templeton, K.J.; Dirks, L.L. - 2009
Guidance for forecasting solid low-level waste (LLW) on a site-wide basis is described in this document. Forecasting is … defined as an approach for collecting information about future waste receipts. The forecasting approach discussed in this … document is based solely on hanford`s experience within the last six years. Hanford`s forecasting technique is not a …

An introductory guide to uncertainty analysis in environmental and health risk assessment
Hoffman, F.O.; Hammonds, J.S. - 2008
To compensate for the potential for overly conservative estimates of risk using standard US Environmental Protection Agency methods, an uncertainty analysis should be performed as an integral part of each risk assessment. Uncertainty analyses allow one to obtain quantitative results in the form...

Application of a prognostic model validation system to real-time dispersion modeling
Pace, J C - 2008
The Atmospheric Release Advisory Capability (ARAC) at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory uses the U.S. Navy's Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) to supply high-resolution wind data for use in its real-time dispersion modeling system. ARAC has used COAMPS...
