Neglect Of Parameter Estimation Uncertainty Can Significantly Overestimate Structural Reliability

Parameter estimation uncertainty is often neglected in reliability studies, i.e. point estimates of distribution parameters are used for representative fractiles, and in probabilistic models. A numerical example examines the effect of this uncertainty on structural reliability using Bayesian statist...
