Short description (from the back cover)
This textbook discusses the use of uncertainty analysis and sensitivity analysis in environmental life cycle assessment (LCA). This is a topic which has received a lot of attention by journals, including the leading (Springer) International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment. Despite its importance, no coherent textbook exists that summarizes the progress that has been made in the last 20 years. This book attempts to fill that gap. Its audience is practitioners (professional and academic) of LCA, teachers, and Ph.D. students. It gives a very broad overview of the field: probability theory, descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, error analysis, sensitivity analysis, decision theory, etc., all in relation to LCA. Much effort has been taken to give a balanced overview, with a uniform terminology and mathematical notation.
Reviews and citations
I have not yet seen a review, but Anders Andrae, in DOI 10.14445/23497157/IJRES-V11I5P110, writes that "Recently, a major work was published, which will help practitioners improve the uncertainty modelling in LCA", with a reference to this book.
The book is too young for citation counting.
