Elements in uncertainty analysis	Potential contribution of this approach
Identifying uncertainties	Not applicable
Characterising uncertainties	Yes. For each source, uncertainty is expressed as a probability distribution. Where there is dependence between uncertainties about two or more parameters, the joint uncertainty is expressed using a multivariate probability distribution
Combining uncertainties	Not applicable. However, the results of EKE and/or Bayesian inferences for multiple uncertainties may be combined using the mathematics of probability. This is seen by some as being part of an overarching Bayesian approach to uncertainty
Prioritising uncertainties	Not applicable. However, there exist methods of sensitivity analysis which are proposed from a Bayesian perspective and which are seen by some as being particularly appropriate for use in conjunction with Bayesian inference
