Sorts and locations of uncertainty addressed

PRIMA is especially suited for uncertainties, which can be interpreted differently from normative standpoints. In practice this usually means that PRIMA is useful for uncertainties of the sort of scenario uncertainty and recognized ignorance. The method of perspective-based multiple model routes, which is the main PRIMA technique by definition involves both model, input and parameter uncertainties and to a lesser extent involves the context.
