Engineering Systems Analysis for Design Richard de Neufville © Massachusetts Institute of Technology Risk assessmentSlide 1 of 10 Risk Assessment l The quantified description of the uncertainty concerning situations and outcomes l Objective: To present –The problem –Means of assessment –Useful formulas –Biases in assessment

Engineering Systems Analysis for Design Richard de Neufville © Massachusetts Institute of Technology Risk assessmentSlide 2 of 10 Methods of Assessment (1) l Logic –Example: Prob (Queen) in a deck of cards l Frequency –Example: Prob (failure of dams) = /dam/year –Based on analysis of data on failures

Engineering Systems Analysis for Design Richard de Neufville © Massachusetts Institute of Technology Risk assessmentSlide 3 of 10 Methods of Assessment (2) l Statistical Models –Example: Future Demand = f(variables) + error l Judgement –“Expert Opinion” –“Subjective Probability” –Example: Performance in 10 years of a new technology Price of Oil in 3 years? 5 years?

Engineering Systems Analysis for Design Richard de Neufville © Massachusetts Institute of Technology Risk assessmentSlide 4 of 10 Biases in Subjective Probability Assessments l Overconfidence –Distribution typically much broader than we imagine l Insensitivity to New Information –Information typically should cause us to change opinions more than it does

Engineering Systems Analysis for Design Richard de Neufville © Massachusetts Institute of Technology Risk assessmentSlide 5 of 10 Revision of Estimates - Bayes Theorem l Definitions –P(E)Prior Probability of Event E –P(E/O)Posterior P(E), after observation O is made. This is the goal of the analysis. –P(O/E)Conditional probability that O is associated with E –P(O)Probability of Event (Observation) O l Theorem: P(E/O) = P(E) {P(O/E) / P(O) } l Note: Importance of revision depends on: –rarity of observation O –extremes of P(O/E)

Engineering Systems Analysis for Design Richard de Neufville © Massachusetts Institute of Technology Risk assessmentSlide 6 of 10 Application of Bayes Theorem l At a certain educational establishment: P(students) = 2/3 P(staff) = 1/3 P(fem/students) = 1/4 P(fem/staff) = 1/2 l What is the probability that a woman on campus is a student? {i.e., what is P(student/fem)?} P(student/fem) = P(student) P(fem/student) P(fem) l Thus: P(student/fem) = 2/3 {(1/4) / 1/3)} = 1/2

Engineering Systems Analysis for Design Richard de Neufville © Massachusetts Institute of Technology Risk assessmentSlide 8 of 10 Likelihood Ratios, LR Definitions P(E )= P(E does not occur) = > P(E) + P(E ) = 1.0 LR= P(E)/P(E ); therefore P(E)= LR / (1 + LR) LR i = LR after i observations

Engineering Systems Analysis for Design Richard de Neufville © Massachusetts Institute of Technology Risk assessmentSlide 9 of 10 Likelihood Ratios (2) l Formulas LR 1 = P(E) {P(Oj/E) / P(Oj)} P(E ) {P(Oj/E ) / P(Oj)} after a single observation Oj CLRj= P(Oj/E) / P(Oj/E ) the conditional likelihood ratio for Oj LR N = LR 0 j (CLR j ) N j  N j = number of observations of type O j

Engineering Systems Analysis for Design Richard de Neufville © Massachusetts Institute of Technology Risk assessmentSlide 10 of 10 Application of Likelihood Ratios (1) l Bottle-making machines can be either OK or defective P(D) = 0.1 l The frequency of cracked bottles depends upon the state of the machine P(C/D) = 0.2 P(C/OK) = 0.05

Engineering Systems Analysis for Design Richard de Neufville © Massachusetts Institute of Technology Risk assessmentSlide 11 of 10 Application of Likelihood Ratios (2) Picking up 5 bottles at random from a machine, we find {2 cracked, 3 uncracked} What is the Prob(machine defective) LR O = P(D) / P(OK) = 0.1/0.9 = 1/9 CLR C = 0.2/0.05 = 4 CLR uc = 0.8/0.95 = 16/19 LR 5 = (1/9) (4) 2 (16/19) 3 = 1.06 P(D/{2C, 3UC}) = 0.52 = 1.06/( )
