METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INTEGRATED UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS

摘要

A system and a method are provided for performing an integrated uncertainty analysis on a system having interacting modules (41, 43). The interaction of the modules includes data transfer between modules with the output of one module being indicative of the input (3) of another module. An uncertainty analysis is preformed on each module based on given probability density functions of each input to the module. The uncertainty analysis may include developing a deterministic equivalent model for one or more modules. Data may be provided from one module to another in a uniform format. Thus, two or more modules may be integrated with uncertainties in the inputs of one module (3) being effectively propagated to the inputs of another module (43). A plurality of modules may thus be modeled as a single integrated system.
