In other words, the analysis neglects structural uncertainty about the adequacy of the assumed linear model, and
the parameter uncertainty the analysis does take into account is strongly reduced by models that are «bad» by this model - data mismatch metric.

In addition, we undertook a series of sensitivity
analyses to explore the implications of
uncertainty surrounding key drivers of cost in intrapartum care and the variables for which there was the most
uncertainty surrounding the resource use
parameters.
A new large
uncertainty analysis that appeared this week in Nature shows that it is very difficult to get a climate sensitivity below 2 ºC in a climate model, no matter how one changes the
parameters.
«For the
uncertainty analysis we assume, like Gregory et al. (2002), that errors in the observable
parameters (N, Q, and ΔTs) all have Gaussian distributions.
They are simply a first estimate.Where multiple
analyses of the biases in other climatological variables have been produced, for example tropospheric temperatures and ocean heat content, the resulting spread in the estimates of key
parameters such as the long - term trend has typically been signicantly larger than initial estimates of the
uncertainty suggested.
«For the
uncertainty analysis we assume, like Gregory et al. (2002), that errors in the observable
parameters (N, Q, and [delta] Ts) all have Gaussian distributions.
«The assessment is supported additionally by a complementary
analysis in which the
parameters of an Earth System Model of Intermediate Complexity (EMIC) were constrained using observations of near - surface temperature and ocean heat content, as well as prior information on the magnitudes of forcings, and which concluded that GHGs have caused 0.6 °C to 1.1 °C (5 to 95 %
uncertainty) warming since the mid-20th century (Huber and Knutti, 2011); an
analysis by Wigley and Santer (2013), who used an energy balance model and RF and climate sensitivity estimates from AR4, and they concluded that there was about a 93 % chance that GHGs caused a warming greater than observed over the 1950 — 2005 period; and earlier detection and attribution studies assessed in the AR4 (Hegerl et al., 2007b).»
