num_intervals
Specify the number of intervals for each variable
Specification
Alias: None
Arguments: INTEGERLIST
Default: Equal apportionment of intervals among variables
Description
In Dakota, epistemic uncertainty analysis is performed using either interval estimation or Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence.
In these approaches, one does not assign a probability distribution to each uncertain input variable.
Rather, one divides each uncertain input variable into one or more
intervals. The input parameters are only known to occur within
intervals; nothing more is assumed. num_intervals
specifies the
number of such intervals associated with each interval uncertain parameter.
