Guedes Soares, C. (1991), “Effect of Transfer Function Uncertainty on Short Term Ship Responses”, Ocean Engineering, Vol 18, Issue 4, pp. 329-362

A survey is presented of the generally used theories for predicting wave-induced motions and loads on ships as well as of the available comparisons with experimental results. The published results are used to quanify a model uncertainty factor that is proposed here to correct the theoretic predictions for systematic deviations and to quantify their uncertainty. The non-linearity of the presponse is also considered and modelled. A formulation is developed to quantify the influence of the transfer function uncertaintty on the short-term response variance.
