Sumario: | Modelling has permeated virtually all areas of industrial, environmental, economic, bio-medical or civil engineering: yet the use of models for decision-making raises a number of issues to which this book is dedicated:How uncertain is my model? Is it truly valuable to support decision-making? What kind of decision can be truly supported and how can I handle residual uncertainty? How much refined should the mathematical description be, given the true data limitations? Could the uncertainty be reduced through more data, increased modeling investment or computational budget? Should it be red. |
