Life-cycle cost analysis and probabilistic cost estimating in engineering design using an air duct design case study

Although the issue of uncertainties in cost model parameters has been recognized as an important aspect of life-cycle cost analysis, it is often ignored or not well treated in cost estimating. A simulation approach employing kernel estimation techniques and their asymptotic properties in the develop...
