Hazard Response Modeling Uncertainty (A Quantitative Method)
Abstract
There are currently available many microcomputer-basd hazard response models for calculating concentrations of hazardous chemicals in the atmosphere. The uncertainties associated with these models are not well-known and they have not been adequately evaluated and compared using statistical procedures where confidence limits are determined. The U.S. Air Force has a need for an objective method for evaluating these models, and this project provides a framework for performing these analyses and estimating the modele uncertainties. As part of this research, available models and data sets were collected, methods for estimating uncertainties due to data input errors and stochastic effects were developed, a framework for model evaluation was put together, and preliminary applications using test data sets took place.
