All settings are within +-5%. It is wrong to assume that if someone was setting a input control on the actual device that they can do it perfectly every time. This is part of what is unknown.
All distributions are assumed to be uniform (for simplicity of implementation). So we have variability in the settings and we have uncertainty about how well that intended setting is expressed on the equipment. To chase out these issues 1000 simulations are done. We run each of these 1000 simulations changing the inputs for variability then for uncertainty.
The software package to analyze this can only handle 5 inputs, 10 outputs and 1000 iterations. One additional random choice is the model to use 1,2, or 3.
