Risk score are designed to represent an underlying probability of an adverse event denoted {=} given a vector of explanatory variables containing measurements of the relevant risk factors. In order to establish the connection between the risk factors and the probability, a set of weights β {\displaystyle \beta } is estimated using a ...
Risk is the lack of certainty about the outcome of making a particular choice. Statistically, the level of downside risk can be calculated as the product of the probability that harm occurs (e.g., that an accident happens) multiplied by the severity of that harm (i.e., the average amount of harm or more conservatively the maximum credible amount of harm).
Quantitative risk assessment (QRA) software and methodologies give quantitative estimates of risks, given the parameters defining them. They are used in the financial sector, the chemical process industry, and other areas. In financial terms, quantitative risk assessments include a calculation of the single loss expectancy of monetary value of ...
