Design under uncertainty Design concept 1 Noise level (db) Design concept 2 Design concept 3 Cost ($)
Profit is uncertain and depends on selection of design concept Probability density of profit Profit ($) Loss 0 Which design is better ?
Goals • Study and understand advantages and limitations of methods for modeling uncertainty (classical probability, Bayesian probability, fuzzy sets, imprecise probabilities) • Study methods for modeling a decision-maker’s preferences and attitude toward risk • Address issues of lack of data and high computational cost • Develop tools for making design decisions under uncertainty by combining the above methods
