Since the uncertainty variable is like a data variable, it doesn't have bounds. I was getting confused. Here, `probability` should be a dimension of size two, with a coordinate variable `probability(probability)` to contain the probability values, such as `0.05, 0.95` for a 5-95% interval. We would need to introduce some appropriate standard name for this "probability", to indicate its role in defining a confidence limit. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
