In this paper, we propose a new method for epidemic risk modelling and prediction, based on uncertainty quantification (UQ) approaches. In UQ, we consider the state variables as members of a convenient separable Hilbert space, and we look for their representation in finite dimensional subspaces generated by truncations of a suitable Hilbert basis. The coefficients of the finite expansion can be determined by approaches established in the literature, adapted to the determination of the probability distribution of epidemic risk variables.

One of the ureters, whose length is adapted to the kidney seat, crosses the median line to implant in the bladder on the opposite side. Renal fusion of the two parenchymas is common and this abnormality is most often asymptomatic and fortuitously discovered.
