Hazard ratios do not reflect a time unit of the study. The difference between hazard-based and time-based measures is akin to the difference between the odds of winning a race and the margin of victory. [3] When a study reports one hazard ratio per time period, it is assumed that difference between groups was proportional.
This interpretation of the baseline hazard as "hazard of a baseline subject" is imperfect, as the covariate being 0 is impossible in this application: a P/E of 0 is meaningless (it means the company's stock price is 0, i.e., they are "dead"). A more appropriate interpretation would be "the hazard when all variables are nil".
However, no mathematical model is 100% accurate, so while the O-score may forecast bankruptcy or solvency, factors both inside and outside of the formula can impact its accuracy. Furthermore, later bankruptcy prediction models such as the hazard based model proposed by Campbell, Hilscher, and Szilagyi in 2011 [5] have proven more accurate still ...
This approach performs well for certain measures and can approximate arbitrary hazard functions relatively well, while not imposing stringent computational requirements. [5] When the covariates are omitted from the analysis, the maximum likelihood boils down to the Kaplan-Meier estimator of the survivor function.
The Bass diffusion model is derived by assuming that the hazard rate for the uptake of a product or service may be defined as: = () = + [()] where () is the probability density function and () = is the survival function, with () being the cumulative distribution function.
Taxonomy-based risk identification – The taxonomy in taxonomy-based risk identification is a breakdown of possible risk sources. Based on the taxonomy and knowledge of best practices, a questionnaire is compiled. The answers to the questions reveal risks. [21] Common-risk checking [22] – In several industries, lists with known risks are ...

One point of possible objection interests the uncertainties associated with a PSA. The PSA (Probabilistic Safety Assessment) has often no associated uncertainty, though in metrology any measure shall be related to a secondary measurement uncertainty, and in the same way any mean frequency number for a random variable shall be examined with the dispersion inside the set of data.
