Models mean-risk

The goal of Approach 3 is to append an operational risk term to the mean-risk model formulation in Approach 2 to account for the significance of both financial risk (as considered by Approach 1) and operational risk in decision-making. 

Recently, risk started to be defined in terms of another point measure introduced by J.P. Morgan, value at risk or VaR (Jorion, 2000). This is defined as the difference between the expected profit and the profit corresponding to 5% cumulative probability. Many other mean-risk models use measures such as tail value at risk, weighted mean...

It emphasises the need to research quantitative evaluation risk models and thus to provide for the reader means to define a level of danger, in a rigorous fashion, taking into account in his own way work already carried out in this domain. The model proposed ought to be considered as a route and a clue to a way of thinking and not necessarily as definitive. 

Therefore, in this approach, we develop Risk Model III as a reformulation of Risk Model II by employing the mean-absolute deviation (MAD), in place of variance, as the measure of operational risk imposed by the recourse costs to handle the same three factors of uncertainty (prices, demands, and yields). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such application of MAD, a widely-used metric in the area of system identification and process control, for risk management in refinery planning. 

Two types of models are often used for conducting statistical analysis of cancer risks (1) absolute-risk models and (2) relative-risk models. With absolute-risk models, the excess risk due to exposure to radiation does not depend on the normal risk that would arise when there is no radiation exposure. With relative-risk models, the relative risk is a multiple of the normal risk. Unlike absolute risk, which is measured on a scale that starts at 0 and goes to 1, relative risk values begin at 1 and go to infinity (i.e., very large numbers). A value of 1 for the relative risk means that there is no excess risk.

A basic tenet behind quantified risk models is that they are objective. This should mean that, if two or more people model the same scenario, their results should be more or less the same. In practice, anyone who has actually conducted hazards analyses knows that this statement is only approximately true at best. Each analyst will bring to the model his or her assumptions and values— particularly with respect to the failure rate data that they use. (The same phenomenon can be seen with respect to Hazard and Operability studies. When two teams analyze essentially similar systems, it can be startling to see how much the respective results differ from one another.)... 

The induction of experimental dermatitis by means of model irritants represents a method for reproducing ICD in a standardized way and can be employed both for evaluating skin reactivity in high-risk subjects and for monitoring the response and adaptation to the occupational milieu. Skin reactivity to exogenous substances may vary with respect to both the intensity and course of barrier damage and the inflammatory response. Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and capacitance measurements and instrumental evaluation of skin blood flow, erythema and edema represent the methods for the quantification of different aspects of experimentally induced irritation. 

In the BEIR VII report, risk models for the following individual cancer sites are presented stomach, colon, liver, lung, female breast, prostate, uterus, ovary, bladder, other solid cancer, thyroid, and red bone marrow (leukemia). Other cancer sites can be accounted for by applying the BEIR VII risk model for other sofid cancer and adjusting it by means of the baseline rates of the cancer of concern. 

Lifetime excess risks, also referred to as lifetime attributable risks (Kellerer et al. 2001, BEIR VII 2006), LAR, are calculated by means of site-specific risk models, site-specific baseline rates on cancer incidence (or cancer mortality), and life-table data to account for competing risks ... 

When thinking about safety, there must necessarily be a symmetry between the past and the future, which means that future accidents must happen in the same way as past accidents. Or, to put it differently, the reasons why accidents happened in the past must be the same as the reasons why accidents will happen in the future. This does not mean that they are due to the same types of events or conditions, since socio-technical systems constantly change. But it is meant in the sense that the principle of explanation, e.g., the causality credo, must be valid for the future as well as for the past. If that were not the case, it would require that some mysterious force in the present - meaning right now - changed the way things work and the way things happen. Since this is clearly not sensible, the consequence is that there must be a symmetry between that past and the future - and, more specifically, that accident models and risk models should follow the same principles. 

If it is not possible to obtain complete data for operational risk analysis an expert knowledge should be used. Database created in this way can be considered as a basis for risk modelling by means of fuzzy methods. 

Step 3—Control chart. The main modification introduced in the model consists in the way in which the control chart is designed. Instead of the p-chart proposed by CCSM, the model uses a R-chart, which means Risk-chart. A R-chart is constructed by plotting the daily value of R against the date. R is the daily weighted average of all the proportion of non-conforming Risks. The Upper Control Limit (UCL) and the Lower Control Limit (LCL) are given by the formulas reported in Equation (3) and in Equation (4)... 

This section reflects on the limitations of the PSA process and draws extensively from NUREG-1050. These subjects are discussed as plant modeling and evaluation, data, human errors, accident processes, containment, fission product transport, consequence analysis, external events, and a perspective on the meaning of risk. 

For the models described, the usual assumption for air nodes in regard to the room air distribution is still valid. This means that each air node represents a volume of perfectly mixed air. Thus, the same limitations as for thermal and airflow models apply Local air temperatures and air velocities as well as local contaminant concentrations can he neither considered nor determined. This also means that thermal comfort evaluations in terms of draft risk cannot be performed. 

Because the slope factor is often an upper 95 percentile confidence limit of the probability of response based on experimental animal data used in tlie multistage model, tlie carcinogenic risk estimate will generally be an upper-bound estimate. Tliis means tliat tlie EPA is reasonably confident tliat tlie true risk will not exceed the risk estimate derived tlirough use of tliis model and is likely to be less than tliat predicted. 

PBPK models improve the pharmacokinetic extrapolations used in risk assessments that identify the maximal (i.e., the safe) levels for human exposure to chemical substances (Andersen and Krishnan 1994). PBPK models provide a scientifically sound means to predict the target tissue dose of chemicals in humans who are exposed to environmental levels (for example, levels that might occur at hazardous waste sites) based on the results of studies where doses were higher or were administered in different species. Figure 3-4 shows a conceptualized representation of a PBPK model.
