A general discussion of knowledge dependence in risk calculations shows that the assumption of independence underlying standard Monte Carlo simulation in uncertainty analysis is frequently violated. A model is presented for performing Monte Carlo simulation when the variabilities of the component failure probabilities are either negatively or positively coupled. The model is applied to examples in human reliability analysis and the results are compared to the results of Sandia Laboratories as published in the Peer Review Study and to recalculations using more recent methods of uncertainty analysis.
