Supply chain risk analysis
… that will help sustaining business in a high-risk business environment. The system is developed as a web application to better integrate the supply chain entities and to provide a common platform for performing risk analysis in a supply chain. The system performs a risk analysis and calculates …

Flood Risk Analysis on Terrains
<p>An important problem in terrain analysis is modeling how water flowsacross a terrain and creates floods by filling up depressions. This thesis examines a number of flood-risk related problems. One such problem is answering terrain-flood queries: given a terrain represented as a triangulated …

Risk analysis for tunneling projects
… to systematically assess and manage the risks associated with tunnel construction. In order to better understand the conditions under which accidents occur, a database of 204 tunnel construction accidents was assembled. This is the most comprehensive database known to date. The database …

Spectral factor model and risk analysis
In this paper, we apply spectral analysis tools to portfolio management. Recognizing volatility and factor beta as major risk sources, we analyze the short-term and longterm components of risk for any given portfolio. We model the portfolio weights as an LTI system filter and describe how the risk …

Physical risk analysis of ship grounding
The first part of this thesis presents an analysis on the factors contributing to groundings when ships transit in and out of ports. The study has been part of a three-year project on "Ship Transit Risk". By verifying the grounding location database generated during the first two years of the …

Seismic Risk Analysis for Mid-America Communities
… an on-site M6 earthquake; the dominant seismic risk source for buildings and population in communities in the small and the large source zones is the New Madrid seismic fault, and in the outside source zone the whole of Mid-America; the dominant seismic risk source for lifelines in communities …

A System-Theoretic Approach to Risk Analysis
Traditional safety risk assessment methods focus on component failures instead of the hazards present before the failure occurs. A widespread assessment tool is a risk matrix that measures the probability and severity of a particular risk, focusing heavily on qualitatively assessing the problem and …

Optimization of multiple investments with risk analysis
… model which was an improvement over previous analysis techniques. The new aspect of this model is its capability of analysing multiple investments with a comprehensive risk analysis and with a short computer running time. Significant features of the analysis technique include: (1) A general …

Comparisons of correlation methods in risk analysis
… presents a comparison of correlation methods in risk analysis. A theoretical solution is given to the correlation problem along with a discussion of each method. Each method is compared to a developed test case and two other cost projects. Restrictions on correlation coefficients are also given …

Evaluation of key factors in transportation risk analysis
… (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLRW). Risk analyses could be used to support transportation decisions (such as route and mode selection) pertaining to the repository program; The purpose of this study is to develop a procedure to facilitate comparative transportation risk assessment. A …

Uncertainty and Risk Analysis in Fire Safety Engineering
Two Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) methods are presented which can be used to quantify the risk to occupants in, for example, a building in which a fire has broken out. The extended QRA considers the inherent uncertainty in the variables explicitly. The standard QRA does not consider the …

A risk analysis methodology for micro/nano manufacturing
This research concerns the development of a risk analysis and mitigation methodology for assessing the impact of uncertainties and complexity of the design requirements arising in new process and product developments in micro and nano manufacturing. The risk analysis methodology integrates …

Applications of machine learning : consumer credit risk analysis
… construct forecasting models of consumer credit risk. By aggregating credit accounts, credit bureau, and customer data given to us from a major commercial bank (which we will call the Bank, as per confidentiality agreement), we expect to be able to construct out-of-sample forecasts. The resulting …

Adversarial risk analysis for first-price sealed-bid auctions
… introduced an approach, called adversarial risk analysis (ARA) that provides an optimal solution for one of the intervening agents, based on a decision making problem in hand and treating the intelligent adversaries' decisions as uncertainties. ARA solutions for FPSB auctions have previously …
