©GoldSim Technology Group LLC., 2004 Agenda Definitions Defining stochastic inputs Modeling Risk and Reliability

©GoldSim Technology Group LLC., 2004 Uncertainty Doubt, lack of certainty State of having a limited knowledge Impossible to exactly describe existing state or future outcome

©GoldSim Technology Group LLC., 2004 Error vs. Uncertainty Error: Derived or assumed value  true value Uncertainty represents a range of true possibilities

©GoldSim Technology Group LLC., 2004 Types of Uncertainty Parameter uncertainty –Roughness coefficient, infiltration parameter Uncertainty in future events –Equipment failure –Accident –Population growth Model uncertainty –Simplifications and approximations –Representations of a process –Time dependent

©GoldSim Technology Group LLC., 2004 Memory and Correlation Streamflow Climate uncertainty and environmental response

©GoldSim Technology Group LLC., 2004 Uncertainty in Model Input Identify uncertainty components –Add components to the model? –Simplify? –Physically based vs. Empirical Goal: Quantify combined effect of the components

©GoldSim Technology Group LLC., 2004 Validating Model Uncertainty Best fit parametric distribution –Requires historic dataset (non-biased) –Tools: Excel, MatLab User-defined distribution (non-parametric) Subjective assessments and judgment –Expert elicitation (multi-disciplinary)

©GoldSim Technology Group LLC., 2004 Why Uncertainty Modeling? Quantify risk associated with uncertainty Quantify cost associated with the risk Visualize a range of possibility Correlate uncertain parameters Explore combinations of possibilities Propagation of uncertainty

©GoldSim Technology Group LLC., 2004 Quantifying Uncertainty A probability distribution is a mathematical representation of the relative likelihood of an uncertain variable having certain specific values. Height = probability density (integrate to get probability) PDFs:

©GoldSim Technology Group LLC., 2004 Risk vs. Reliability Modeling Risk: –Predicting the probability of a (usually bad) outcome Reliability: –Analyzing the ways that systems can fail (and be repaired) in order to increase their design life, and eliminate or reduce the likelihood of failures, downtime and safety risks.
