A Mathematical Derivation of a Risk Assessment Procedure
Marco Benini, Sabrina Sicari · 2010
Abstract—Risk assessment is a well-established engineering prac-tise widely applied on technological systems. Despite its spread, few attempts have been made to formalise its basis in order to provide a non-empirical foundation. In this article we introduce a formal anal-ysis of risk assessment in an algebraic framework, considering also the case of multiple experts. Results about the reliability and the ap-plicability of the framework will be derived according to the struc-tural properties of the problem formalisation.
