Uncertainty in risk assessment
Environmental Science & Technology, 1985An analysis technique is presented for dealing with uncertainties in quantitative environmental risk analysis. Assessments of the health effects from a 1 GW sulfur-scrubbed coal-fired power plant in the upper Ohio Valley are presented. The annual average concentration of sulfate aerosol was chosen as the air pollutant of interest.

Computation, Uncertainty and Risk
The Computer Journal, 2012A model is developed for representing computations that arise when deterministic algorithms process workloads whose detailed structure is uncertain. The new computational model, which is based upon the notion of loosely constrained deterministic systems (LCD systems), incorporates a characterization of uncertainty that is expressed entirely in terms of

Risk and Uncertainty Communication
Annual Review of Statistics and Its Application, 2017This review briefly examines the vast range of techniques used to communicate risk assessments arising from statistical analysis. After discussing essential psychological and sociological issues, I focus on individual health risks and relevant research on communicating numbers, verbal expressions, graphics, and conveying deeper uncertainty.

Defining and understanding risk and uncertainty is a relatively complex affair, which in itself may be an obstacle to passing on new knowledge of the cost of risk, which is the primary purpose of this book.

Research and innovation by their nature involve uncertainty: there are many possible outcomes from a particular activity or programme. An uncertainty only becomes a risk when one or more of the possible outcomes would lead to an unwanted event, a major loss, large downside, or other undesirable effect.

Coping with Uncertainty and Risk
2011In the previous chapters, reference has been made to the uncertainty, which characterizes measurements and assessments related to climate change, and the risks accompanying policies to adapt to and/or mitigate the impacts of global warming. Particularly in the case of the facts, based on (IPCC, 2007a), about global warming and relevant projections into

This chapter discusses the unknown future. With uncertainty, something good or bad may happen. In investment, one is often concerned with the likelihood of the latter. Then there are complicating unknown unknowns. The investments return known only ex post sums it up as for a roulette ball that has reached standstill.

Uncertainty is prevalent in policymaking, and is thus an important dimension of policy evaluation and BCA. This chapter introduces the methods and practices to take uncertainty into account in BCA. The pedagogical approach consists in building on the contrast between two related concepts, such as risk versus uncertainty, static versus sequential ...

Closely linked with the problems associated with the timing of production, as discussed in the last chapter, is risk and uncertainty, which are often associated with the production and sale of products. Implementation of production that takes a very long time is often associated with uncertainty regarding the price which can be obtained for the product
