Data quality; MCS

Question

Do I need the data quality for a Monte Carlo simulation? And if so, what do I depend on to evaluate the data (1-5) for each topic? (Relaibility, Geography, Futher...)

Answer 1

Maybe my answer to your other question https://ask.openlca.org/3527/how-is-the-sigma-calculated already helps - the data quality is not directly linked to the Monte Carlo simulation, MCS only refers to the uncertainty. Only ecoinvent makes the bold step to claim uncertainty figures based on pedigree data quality.

Best wishes,
