Abstract

This chapter is devoted to the modeling and propagation of uncertainties with emphasis on aleatory uncertainty. High-dimensional parametric models will be derived and techniques for their efficient approximation will be discussed and compared. To this end, the sensitivity analysis tools, derived in the previous chapter will be of central importance.
