Bayesian methods in risk assessment
Empirical data are almost always lacking in real-world risk analyses. In fact, some risk analysis problems try to forecast what risks may be associated with situations that are, at the time of the assessment, only hypothetical. It may therefore be impractical, unethical, or even impossible to collect relevant empirical data. To make matters worse for the analyst, the situations of concern in ri...
متن کاملAssessment of substitution model adequacy using frequentist and Bayesian methods.
In order to have confidence in model-based phylogenetic methods, such as maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian analyses, one must use an appropriate model of molecular evolution identified using statistically rigorous criteria. Although model selection methods such as the likelihood ratio test and Akaike information criterion are widely used in the phylogenetic literature, model selection method...
متن کاملRetrospective Self Assessment of Ergonomic Exposure
Development of simple-to-use, cost-effective risk assessments is a current research necessity in Ergonomics. Direct measurements and observational methods are usually considered more reliable and objective than retrospective self-assessment but the more subjective methods are often the only feasible way to evaluate exposure to health risks – particularly in large field studies. This paper discu...
متن کاملApplication of Bayesian Methods to Exposure Assessment of Area Concentrations at a Rubber Factory
The present study estimated area concentrations of airborne benzene in several workshops using Bayesian methods based on available historical measurements. A rubber products factory utilizing benzene was investigated. Historical measurements of benzene concentrations, expert experiences, and deterministic modeling were utilized in a Bayesian Method to estimate area concentrations. Historical co...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
