[1]1̇1 document The Uncertainty in Newton’s Constant and Precision Predictions of the Primordial Helium Abundance Robert J. Scherrer Department of Physics and Astronomy, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37235 abstract The current uncertainty in Newton’s constant, GN , is of the order of 0.15%. For values of the baryon to photon ratio consistent with both cosmic microwave background observati...

Complex problem solving in naturalistic environments is fraught with uncertainty, which has significant impacts on problem-solving behavior. Thus, theories of human problem solving should include accounts of the cognitive strategies people bring to bear to deal with uncertainty during problem solving. In this article, we present evidence that analogy is one such strategy. Using statistical anal...

strategies in these methods into five criteria, that is, risk reduction, uncertainty, positivity, density, and

This paper's goal is to provide an approach for very early predictions for new products, which includes conformance uncertainty. It makes predictions before formulating the new product concept. Although we would not expect to resolve all or most of the uncertainty at this early stage, we hope to provide significant reduction in development uncertainty. The advocated approach explains 27.8% of t...

High accuracy complex computer models, also called simulators, require large resources in time and memory to produce realistic results. Statistical emulators are computationally cheap approximations of such simulators. They can be built to replace simulators for various purposes, such as the propagation of uncertainties from inputs to outputs or the calibration of some internal parameters again...

Addressing deficit irrigation scheduling (DIS) for strategic crop production (especially wheat) under precipitation uncertainty is a priority for irrigation scheduling in drought conditions. This research investigated the precipitation uncertainty by enacting optimistic and pessimistic scenarios for the next 20 years by considering the statistical record of climate in Badjgah area. DIS was cond...

In this paper, we will propose a technique for multidimensional enhancement of uncertain data. In many applications, the uncertainty in the different dimensions is caused by independent factors, especially if the different dimensions have been collected from independent sources. In such cases, it is possible to enhance the quality of the data and reduce the underlying uncertainty by using multi...

___________________________________________________________________________ The book studies “Generalized Information Theory” (GIT), being generalizations of, basically, two theories: possibility based uncertainty theory and probability based uncertainty theory. In the whole book, information has to be considered as the reduction of uncertainty, the latter to be defined. Classical possibility b...
