Small data and conflicting information

Sahlin, U. LU (2017) 26th European Safety and Reliability Conference, ESREL 2016 p.51-51
Abstract

Things are seldom ideal. The quality in information underlying the assessment of risk and support decisions is not an exception. Quantitative measures of uncertainty are extremely useful, but a problem with quantitative measures of uncertainty is that qualitative aspects of uncertainty, e.g. related to weaknesses in background knowledge or deep uncertainty (Cox 2012), are difficult to address.
