Geotechnical uncertainty, modeling, and decision making

Soils and Foundations, 2022
Modeling only constitutes one aspect of decision making. The prevailing limitation of applying modeling to practice is the absence of explicit consideration of uncertainties.

Generalized basic probability assignments [PDF]

, 2002
Dempster-Shafer theory allows to construct belief functions from (precise) basic probability assignments. The present paper extends this idea substantially.

To be(t) or not to be(t): A Bayesian approach to statistical data analysis [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
The process of learning from observation is the founding step of Science. When it goes in the direction of collecting empyrical observations and getting to general rules it is called “induction”, and it has the goal to infer from the effects of a given ...

Theoretical characterization of uncertainty in high-dimensional linear classification

Machine Learning: Science and Technology, 2023
Being able to reliably assess not only the accuracy but also the uncertainty of models’ predictions is an important endeavor in modern machine learning. Even if the model generating the data and labels is known, computing the intrinsic uncertainty after ...

Non-Parametric Test for Decreasing Uncertainty of Residual Life Distribution (DURL) [PDF]

, 2023
In this paper, we propose a new statistic to test the monotonicity of uncertainty based on derivative criteria and the histogram method. We test the null hypothesis that residual entropy is constant against the fact that it decreases over time. Hence, by

Distribution Statistics Preserving Post-Processing Method With Plot Level Uncertainty Analysis for Remotely Sensed Data-Based Forest Inventory Predictions

Remote Sensing, 2018
Remotely sensed data-based models used in operational forest inventory usually give precise and accurate predictions on average, but they often suffer from systematic under- or over-estimation of extreme attribute values resulting in too narrow or skewed

Measuring Uncertainty in the Negation Evidence for Multi-Source Information Fusion [PDF]

, 2022
Dempster–Shafer evidence theory is widely used in modeling and reasoning uncertain information in real applications. Recently, a new perspective of modeling uncertain information with the negation of evidence was proposed and has attracted a lot of
