Abstract

The objectives of this chapter are: (1) Demonstrating the principles of design of uncertainty analysis methodologies. (2) Identifying and formulating analytical sophistication degrees for uncertainty analysis in the context of IEPCT. (3) Suggesting and implementing quality factors for evaluation of uncertainty analysis methods and methodologies, thus creating an extensive review of different methods. (4) Presenting two different multi-method approaches for uncertainty analysis based on probabilistic and fuzzy set theory. (5) Providing a review of the methods and methodologies for uncertainty analysis.
