Summary Report for the Workshop on Monte Carlo Analysis
Risk Assessment Forum
This workshop (held in May 1996) convened Monte Carlo analysis experts and practitioners, internal as well as external to EPA, to discuss issues and advance the development of guiding principles concerning how to prepare or review a Monte Carlo analysis. These guiding principles will provide the foundation for future Agency policies and guidance on using Monte Carlo analysis as a tool for characterizing uncertainty and variability in human health risk assessments. [Note: EPA published the Guiding Principles for Monte Carlo Analysis in 1997.] While the workshop focused on Monte Carlo analysis, many of the guiding principles developed at the workshop also apply to other approaches for characterizing uncertainty and variability.
