Quantifying data worth toward reducing predictive uncertainty.
The present study demonstrates a methodology for optimization of environmental data acquisition. Based on the premise that the worth of data increases in proportion to its ability to reduce the uncertainty of key model predictions, the methodology can be used to compare the worth of different data types, gathered at different locations within study areas of arbitrary complexity. The method is a...
متن کاملQuantifying information and uncertainty
We examine ways to measure the amount of information generated by a piece of news and the amount of uncertainty implicit in a given belief. Say a measure of information is valid if it corresponds to the value of news in some decision problem. Say a measure of uncertainty is valid if it corresponds to expected utility loss from not knowing the state in some decision problem. We axiomatically cha...
متن کاملQuantifying and reducing uncertainty in life cycle assessment using the Bayesian Monte Carlo method.
The traditional life cycle assessment (LCA) does not perform quantitative uncertainty analysis. However, without characterizing the associated uncertainty, the reliability of assessment results cannot be understood or ascertained. In this study, the Bayesian method, in combination with the Monte Carlo technique, is used to quantify and update the uncertainty in LCA results. A case study of appl...
متن کاملPhysics-based Data Fusion for Uxo Characterization
ENSCO, Inc. is investigating a novel approach to data fusion of magnetic and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data to characterize previously detected buried targets. The method exploits a single model of the subsurface to predict both magnetic and GPR data observations. By determining the best single model that constrains both data sets, the optimum identification is computed. Using an a priori ...
متن کاملQuantifying Uncertainty In Reserve Estimates
________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Property/casualty reserves are estimates of losses and loss development and as such will not match the ultimate results. Sources of error include model error (the methodology used does not accurately reflect the development process), parameter error (model parameters are calibrated from the data), and process erro...
