- Model Uncertainty - the sum total of all uncertainties associated with the "complete" model; Parameter Uncertainty - associated with the formulation of individual parameters comprising the equations used in the overall model; Random Effects - associated with conditions which cannot be known before a fire occurs (ie., in the 'real world', not a laboratory); Modeler Expertise - associated with the depth and length of experience the fire modeler has acquired; FPETool; CFAST; WPI/FIRE; transient fires
