Systems and methods for estimating uncertainty

A system, comprising:

• a memory storing a plurality of instructions comprising a network of analytic nodes, wherein each analytic node of the network of analytic nodes defines a mathematical function;
• and
• a processing component configured to execute the plurality of instructions, wherein the plurality of instructions, when executed by the processing component, cause acts to be performed, comprising:
• receiving an input value and a corresponding uncertainty value;
• determining an output value as the value of the mathematical function at the input value;
• determining or approximating a partial derivative of the function at the input value;
• performing an uncertainty calculation to estimate an uncertainty of the output value based on the determined or approximated partial derivative and the uncertainty value;
• and
• providing the output value and the estimated uncertainty of the output value.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium, comprising one or more instructions executable by a processor of an electronic device, the instructions comprising:

• instructions to receive an input value and an uncertainty value;
• instructions to determine the output value of a mathematical function at the input value;
• instructions to determine or approximate a partial derivative of the mathematical function at the input value;
• instructions to estimate an uncertainty of the output value based on the determined or approximated partial derivative and the uncertainty value;
• and
• instructions to provide the estimated uncertainty of the output value.
