Abstract
This paper describes a knowledge-based methodology to deal with uncertainty in risk assessment and management. Using the theory of endorsement, the method provides information concerning the uncertainty associated with risk estimates. The information on uncertainty is subsequently evaluated by the risk analyst for better risk assessment and management.
