This Is What We Don't Know: Treating Epistemic Uncertainty in Bayesian Networks for Risk Assessment

Ullrika Sahlin et al.

Summary: This paper highlights potential gaps in the treatment of uncertainty when using Bayesian networks for environmental risk assessment and proposes a consistent framework for treating epistemic uncertainty to help close these gaps. It emphasizes the importance of differentiating between aleatory and epistemic uncertainty and communicating both direct and indirect uncertainties in ERA. Probabilities, intervals, or scenarios are expressions of direct epistemic uncertainty, and the type of Bayesian network determines the treatment of parameter uncertainty.

A systematic review of multivariate uncertainty quantification for engineering systems

Alex Grenyer et al.

Summary: This paper investigates methodologies and challenges in uncertainty quantification, aggregation, and forecasting for modern engineering systems during their in-service life, hindered primarily by data quality, experience, and knowledge. Through analyzing 107 papers, two core research gaps were identified, and it is suggested that an integrated combination of approaches will enhance rigor in uncertainty assessment and forecasting.

Spatial frameworks for robust estimation of yield gaps

Juan I. Rattalino Edreira et al.

Summary: The study compared different methods for estimating crop production and enhancing production, finding that estimates from top-down frameworks are uncertain and could benefit from incorporating estimates from bottom-up approaches for more accurate predictions of food security.

No Free Lunch when Estimating Simulation Parameters

Ernesto Carrella

Summary: Each estimation algorithm has its strengths and weaknesses, and there is not a single best choice for all or most models. Selecting the right algorithm is crucial for improving estimation performance, but some identifiable parameters still cannot be accurately estimated.
