Making assumptions in maintenance models visible
An assumptions register for maintenance models is available as a model note; the model workshop on P04 has been announced.
Erlangen. In the project Uncertainty in municipal maintenance models, the Simulation and Modelling research area is working to make the assumptions behind maintenance models explicit. A single model curve can conceal highly uncertain assumptions; an assumptions register is meant to show them side by side.
The register is available as a model note: Assumptions register for maintenance models. It distinguishes assumptions about state transitions, parameter ranges and input data, and records which of them are justified within the model and which are merely set. Model data are kept apart from source knowledge throughout.
On this topic, the model workshop on assumptions and rank stability has been announced for public bodies. It is a programme example without registration. The note is a document and contains metadata, not a full text.
