Technical Note / dx.doi.org/10.13182/NSE85-A17775

An n'th order uncertainty analysis methodology for problems involving generally correlated but normally distributed parameters is presented. All terms required to apply this uncertainty analysis methodology are expressed analytically in terms of the customary covariance matrices and in terms of up to the n'th order sensitivities.
