Analysis of Uncertainty

Revised 2020-04-06

A part of analysis of uncertainty is termed propagation of error or propagation of variance.  But, analysis of uncertainty is more comprehensive than just propagation of variability; and uncertainty analysis guides quality improvement in processes, products and procedures.   Further, classic approaches to propagation of uncertainty are limited to analytically tractable equations.  The monograph below, Analysis-of-Uncertainty-in-Calculations-2020-04-06 provides a generic and comprehensive discussion.  The topic https://www.r3eda.com/bootstrapping-uncertainty-assessment/ provides more details and software for the bootstrapping technique.
