Operative Procedures for the Methods of Uncertainty Propagation
This appendix reports the operative procedures for uncertainty propagation according to some of the methods described in Chapter 6.
A.1 Level 1 Hybrid Probabilistic–Possibilistic Framework
We assume that the uncertainty related to the first n input quantities, , of the function g is described using the probability distributions , whereas the uncertainty related to the remaining quantities is represented using the possibility distributions . The number of repetitions of the Monte Carlo sampling of the input quantities will be referred to as . The operative steps for the propagation of the hybrid uncertainty information through the function g are (see Figure 6.14)
