Uncertainty analysis — In physical experiments uncertainty analysis or experimental uncertainty assessment deals with assessing the uncertainty in a measurement. An experiment aimed to determine an effect, demostrate a law, or determine the numerical value of a… … Wikipedia

Uncertainty quantification — (UQ) is defined as the quantitative characterization and reduction of uncertainties in applications. The “mathematics of uncertainties” used to be mistakenly identified with only the fields of finance and economics. However, many problems in the… … Wikipedia
Uncertainty principle — In quantum physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that locating a particle in a small region of space makes the momentum of the particle uncertain; and conversely, that measuring the momentum of a particle precisely makes the… … Wikipedia
Analysis of Competing Hypotheses — The Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH) provides an unbiased methodology for evaluating multiple competing hypotheses for observed data. It was developed by Richards (Dick) J. Heuer, Jr., a 45 year veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency,… … Wikipedia
Sensitivity analysis — (SA) is the study of how the variation (uncertainty) in the output of a mathematical model can be apportioned, qualitatively or quantitatively, to different sources of variation in the input of a model Saltelli, A., Ratto, M., Andres, T.,… … Wikipedia
Measurement uncertainty — In metrology, measurement uncertainty is a non negative parameter characterizing the dispersion of the values attributed to a measured quantity. The uncertainty has a probabilistic basis and reflects incomplete knowledge of the quantity. All… … Wikipedia
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Registry — The Cost Effectiveness Analysis Registry was developed by the Center for the Evaluation of Value and Risk in Health at the Institute for Clinical Research and Health Policy Studies, Tufts Medical Center, Boston, MA. The Registry contains detailed … Wikipedia
Measurement systems analysis — A Measurement System Analysis (MSA) is a specially designed experiment that seeks to identify the components of variation in the measurement. Just as processes that produce a product may vary, the process of obtaining measurements and data may… … Wikipedia
Cost–benefit analysis — (CBA), sometimes called benefit–cost analysis (BCA), is a systematic process for calculating and comparing benefits and costs of a project for two purposes: (1) to determine if it is a sound investment (justification/feasibility), (2) to see how… … Wikipedia
