How useful is quantitative risk assessment?
This article discusses the use of quantitative risk assessment (QRA) in decision making regarding the safety of complex technological systems. The insights gained by QRA are compared with those from traditional safety methods and it is argued that the two approaches complement each other. It is argued that peer review is an essential part of the QRA process. The importance of risk-informed rath...
متن کاملToward Making Epidemiologic Data More Useful for Quantitative Risk Assessment
This paper discusses issues faced in using epidemiologic data to develop quantitative estimates of risk from specified patterns of exposure to a toxicant. We focus on use of data from cohort studies with binary endpoints (occurrence or non-occurrence of disease). Relative advantages of Cox regression and Poisson regression are presented. A general form of exposure metric is presented, and crite...
متن کاملHow Useful Is Relevance?
Eliminating irrelevant attributes prior to induction boosts the performance of many learning algorithms. Relevance, however, is no guarantee of usefulness to a particular learner. We test two methods of finding relevant attributes, FOCUS and RELIEF, to see how the attributes they select perform with ID3/C4.5 on two learning problems from a calendar scheduling domain. A more direct attribute sel...
متن کاملHow Useful is Projective Geometry?
In this response, we will weigh two diierent approaches to shape recognition. On the one hand we have the use of restricted camera models as advocated in the paper of Pizlo et. al. to give a closer approximation to real calibrated cameras. The alternative approach is to use a full projective camera model and take advantage of the machinery of projective geometry. 1 About the perspective project...
متن کاملHow Useful Is Old Information?
We consider the problem of load balancing in dynamic distributed systems in cases where new incoming tasks can make use of old information. For example, consider a multi-processor system where incoming tasks with exponentially distributed service requirements arrive as a Poisson process, the tasks must choose a processor for service, and a task knows when making this choice the processor loads ...
