Judgment Extremity and Accuracy under Epistemic versus Aleatory Uncertainty
People view uncertain events as either knowable in principle (epistemic uncertainty), as fundamentally random (aleatory uncertainty), or as some mixture of the two. We show that people make more extreme probability judgments (i.e., closer to 0 or 1) for events they view as entailing more epistemic uncertainty and less aleatory uncertainty. We demonstrate this pattern in a domain where there is ...
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 کاملEpistemic versus Aleatory Judgment Under Uncertainty
Both cases involve judgment under uncertainty, with a mixture of evidence supporting and opposing each event’s likelihood. Yet, they involve what appears to be two qualitatively distinct representations of uncertainty. In the first case, Allie’s uncertainty reflects the unpredictability inherent to a stochastic process (i.e., random draws from the pool of Bingo numbers). This type of uncertaint...
متن کاملNumerical approach for quantification of epistemic uncertainty
In the field of uncertainty quantification, uncertainty in the governing equations may assume two forms: aleatory uncertainty and epistemic uncertainty. Aleatory uncertainty can be characterised by known probability distributions whilst epistemic uncertainty arises from a lack of knowledge of probabilistic information. While extensive research efforts have been devoted to the numerical treatmen...
متن کاملThe Value of Representing Epistemic Uncertainty in Engineering Design
Engineering design decisions inherently are made under uncertainty. In this paper, we recognize a difference between aleatory uncertainty (due to inherent randomness) and epistemic uncertainty (due to lack of knowledge). Our hypothesis is that, in engineering design decisions, it is valuable to explicitly represent epistemic uncertainty distinctly from aleatory uncertainty. In this paper, we su...
