Probabilistic Uncertainty Analysis
Probabilistic Uncertainty Analysis : Medicine. Technique that assigns a probability density function to each input parameter, then randomly selects values from each of the distributions and inserts them into the exposure equation. Repeated calculations produce a distribution of predicted values reflecting the combined impact of variability in each input to the calculation. Monte Carlo is a common type of probabilistic uncertainty analysis. [USEPA, 1997b: Exposure Factors Handbook]
