Decision making under uncertainty, by contrast, involves distributions that are unknown. This situation involves less knowledge than decision making under risk. A situation that involves decision making under uncertainty might be that a communications designengineer knows that transmission quality is a function of the antenna design, the frequency, and the background radiation, but is unsure of what the distribution of background radiation will be in the user environment. In this situation the design response might be to collect field data in the user environment to characterize the radiation, so that antenna design and frequency can be chosen.
