  • Robust Simulation for Mega-Risks

    The Path from Single-Solution to Competitive, Multi-Solution Methods for Mega-Risk Management

    by Craig E. Taylor ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book introduces a new way of analyzing, measuring and thinking about mega-risks, a “paradigm shift” that moves from single-solutions to multiple competitive solutions and strategies. “Robust simulation” is a statistical approach that demonstrates future risk through simulation of a suite of possible answers. To arrive at this point, the book systematically walks through the historical ... Read more

  • Natural Disasters, When Will They Reach Me?

    by Isuri Wijesundera, Malka N. Halgamuge, Thrishantha Nanayakkara, Thas Nirmalathas ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The expected time of impact, also known as the mean first passage time (MFPT) to reach failure, is a critical metric in the management of natural disasters. The complexity of the dynamics governing natural disasters lead to stochastic behaviour. This book shows that state transitions of many such systems translate into random walks on their respective state spaces, biased and shaped by ... Read more
