- Title
Uncertainty Factor Conundrums: What Lessons Should We Draw?
- Authors
Rhomberg, Lorenz R.
- Abstract
The author comments on a study by Roger Cooke on conundrums with uncertainty factors published in a 2010 issue of "Risk Analysis." The author opines that the study has delved into the probabilistic interpretation of uncertainty factors (UF). He adds that Cooke assumed that UF are independent sources of contribution to overall uncertainty. According to the author, the challenge is that the UF paradigm was developed to offer a synthesized characterization of overall uncertainty by interconnecting relevant data.
