Intrinsic randomness in epidemic modelling beyond statistical uncertainty
Communications Physics, 2023 Uncertainty can be classified as either aleatoric (intrinsic randomness) or epistemic (imperfect knowledge of parameters). The majority of frameworks assessing infectious disease risk consider only epistemic uncertainty.

Epistemic Values and the Value of Learning [PDF]
, 2009 In addition to purely practical values, cognitive values also figure into scientific deliberations. One way of introducing cognitive values is to consider the cognitive value that accrues to the act of accepting a hypothesis.

Moral Obligation and Epistemic Risk [PDF]
, 2020 This chapter concerns pernicious predictive inferences: taking someone to be likely to possess a socially disvalued trait based on statistical information about the prevalence of that trait within a social group to which she belongs. Some scholars have argued that pernicious predictive inferences are morally prohibited, but are sometimes epistemically

Algebra and Sequent Calculus for Epistemic Actions [PDF]
, 2005 We introduce an algebraic approach to Dynamic Epistemic Logic. This approach has the advantage that: (i) its semantics is a transparent algebraic object with a minimal set of primitives from which most ingredients of Dynamic Epistemic Logic arise, (ii ...

The problem of moral luck: An argument against its epistemic reduction [PDF]
, 2009 Whom I call 'epistemic reductionists' in this article are critics of the notion of 'moral luck' that maintain that all supposed cases of moral luck are illusory; they are in fact cases of what I describe as a special form of epistemic luck, the only ...

Climate Change Signal in Atlantic Tropical Cyclones Today and Near Future
Earth's Future, 2023 This manuscript discusses the challenges in detecting and attributing recently observed trends in the Atlantic tropical cyclone (TC) and the epistemic uncertainty we face in assessing future risk. We use synthetic storms downscaled from five CMIP5 models

Quantifying uncertainty of machine learning methods for loss given default
Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2022 Machine learning has increasingly found its way into the credit risk literature. When applied to forecasting credit risk parameters, the approaches have been found to outperform standard statistical models. The quantification of prediction uncertainty is

Tolerance analysis approach based on the classification of uncertainty (aleatory / epistemic) [PDF]
, 2012 Uncertainty is ubiquitous in tolerance analysis problem. This paper deals with tolerance analysis formulation, more particularly, with the uncertainty which is necessary to take into account into the foundation of this formulation.
