This course provides an in-depth exploration of dealing with uncertainty in modeling, covering validation, verification, accuracy, and precision aspects. Learn about different distributions, including Gaussian and Uniform distributions, and understand how to handle uncertainty in modeling scenarios to obtain reliable outcomes. The course includes practical examples to enhance understanding and application in decision-making and design processes.

  3. Dealing with uncertainty Validation Verification Accuracy Precision involvedealing with uncertainty, represented as a distribution. Thisgivesthe probability(density) of a particular but uncertainoutcome with someaverageandsomespreading. http://cdn.morguefile.com/imageData/public/files/j/jdurham/preview/fldr_2008_11_16/file000198601977.jpg

  4. Distributionscanbecontinuous(measuring) Dealing with uncertainty Validation Verification Accuracy Precision Gaussian(normal) distribution: the sum of sufficientlymanyuncorrelatednumbers with average andspreading has a normaldistribution. E.g.: de weightdistribution of 18-year oldAmericans. involvedealing with uncertainty, represented as a distribution. Thisgivesthe probability(density) of a particular but uncertainoutcome with someaverageandsomespreading.

  8. Dealing with uncertainty: purpose Example 1. model usedfordecision making (e.g., diagnosis; classification ‘good’ or ‘bad’.) medium confidence low confidence high confidence http://www.clipartlord.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/stethoscope2.png Confidencefor diagnosis support. Compare model outcomeagainstthreshold. Confidence is lowerifareasleftand right fromtreshold are less different. Validation: is the treshhold at the right place? Does checking with thistreshholdmeananything w.r.t. the purpose? Verification (forglass box): do we calculate the distributioncorrectly? Accuracy: are we surethere is no bias? Precision: can we obtainnarrowerdistributions?

  9. Dealing with uncertainty: purpose Example 2. model usedin design: computeduncertaintyintervalsshouldbe small enoughtoassessif A or B is better. A A A B A A http://www.morguefile.com/archive/display/76905 medium confidence low confidence high confidence Confidencefor design decision support: compareone model outcomeagainst a second model outcome. Confidenceis lowerif the areas of twodistributions have larger overlap. Validation: do we compare the right properties? Verification (forglass box): do we calculate the distributioncorrectly? Accuracy: are we surethere is no bias? Precision: can we obtainnarrowerdistributions?
