A Hybrid Method to Deal with Aleatory and Epistemic Uncertainty in Risk Assessment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Risk assessment is an important and significant aid in the decision making process. Risk assessment is performed using ‘model’ and a model is a function of parameters which are usually affected by uncertainty. Some model parameters are affected by aleatory uncertainty and some others are affected by epistemic uncertainty. In this paper we propose a hybrid method to deal with propagation of both kinds of uncertainty within the same computation of risk.

An Approach to Deal with Aleatory and Epistemic Uncertainty within the Same Framework: Case Study in Risk Assessment
Risk assessment is an important and popular aid in the decision making process. The aim of risk assessment is to estimate the severity and likelihood of harm to human health from exposure to a substance or activity that under plausible circumstances can cause to human health. In risk assessment, it is most important to know the nature of all available information, data or model parameters. More...
متن کاملA novel risk-based analysis for the production system under epistemic uncertainty
Risk analysis of production system, while the actual and appropriate data is not available, will cause wrong system parameters prediction and wrong decision making. In uncertainty condition, there are no appropriate measures for decision making. In epistemic uncertainty, we are confronted by the lack of data. Therefore, in calculating the system risk, we encounter vagueness that we have to use ...
متن کاملRobustness-based portfolio optimization under epistemic uncertainty
In this paper, we propose formulations and algorithms for robust portfolio optimization under both aleatory uncertainty (i.e., natural variability) and epistemic uncertainty (i.e., imprecise probabilistic information) arising from interval data. Epistemic uncertainty is represented using two approaches: (1) moment bounding approach and (2) likelihood-based approach. This paper first proposes a ...
متن کاملUncertainty Analysis of the Adequacy Assessment Model of a Distributed Generation System
Due to the inherent aleatory uncertainties in renewable generators, the reliability/adequacy assessments of distributed generation (DG) systems have been particularly focused on the probabilistic modeling of random behaviors, given sufficient informative data. However, another type of uncertainty (epistemic uncertainty) must be accounted for in the modeling, due to incomplete knowledge of the p...
متن کاملKnown unknowns and unknown unknowns in suicide risk assessment: evidence from meta-analyses of aleatory and epistemic uncertainty
Suicide risk assessment aims to reduce uncertainty in order to focus treatment and supervision on those who are judged to be more likely to die by suicide. In this article we consider recent meta-analytic research that highlights the difference between uncertainty about suicide due to chance factors (aleatory uncertainty) and uncertainty that results from lack of knowledge (epistemic uncertaint...
