Question

What is the first step under parameter uncertainty analysis?

(a) Specify the maximum conceivable range of potential values relevant for unknown parameters with respect to the endpoint

(b) Specify a subjective probability distribution (pdf) for values occurring within this range

(c) Account for dependencies and/or correlations among parameters

(d) List all uncertain parameters

I got this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

Asked question is from Risk Management topic in section Risk Management of Hazardous Waste Management

Answer 1

Right answer is (d) List all uncertain parameters

To explain I would say: To perform parameter uncertainty analysis, the first step according to (IAEA 1989) is to list all uncertain parameters (include additional parameters to represent uncertainty in model structure).
