| Zusammenfassung | Physical and numerical experiments yield estimates of true values of measurands. The uncertainties associated with those estimates need to be stated as a measure of the reliability of these estimates. The paper discusses the use of sensitivities of a model with respect to its input variables for the propagation of uncertainties associated with these input variables and summarizes some methods used in modern Monte Carlo transport codes to assess sensitivities. |
