Error and Uncertainty Analysis for Ecological Modeling and Simulation.

Abstract

The main objectives of this project are a) to develop a general methodology for conducting sensitivity and uncertainty analysis and building error budgets in simulation modeling over space and time; and b) to apply that methodology to the assessment of soil erosion through the RUSLE caused by military training at Fort Hood, Texas. This methodology includes: 1) characterizing the source of prediction errors and their spatial and temporal distributions 2) partitioning of errors into various components 3) providing guidelines for error management and error reduction.
