WORKSHOP Spatial Uncertainty Propagation
by Gerard B.M. Heuvelink (Wageningen University, The Netherlands)
and James
D. Brown (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
USA)
Summary: The Spatial Uncertainty Propagation is
a two-day
workshop
that
presents
theory
and practice
of spatial
uncertainty
propagation
analysis,
by presenting
and discussing
various
uncertainty
propagation
techniques.
The emphasis
is on
Monte
Carlo
simulation
methods.
Workshop
participants
learn
to use
the Data
Uncertainty
Engine
software
tool,
which
is specifically
designed
to help
users
define,
assess,
store
and simulate
uncertain
spatio-temporal
environmental data.
Considerable
attention
is given
to the
effect
of cross- and spatio-temporal correlations
on the
results
of an
uncertainty
analysis
and on
methods
to determine
the relative
contribution
of individual
uncertain
inputs
to the
accuracy
of the
final
result.
