Increasing the Accuracy of Predicting Events Which Initiate Extraordinary Situations

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Abstract

An analysis is made of approaches to one of the problems of measuring risk, namely the prediction of initiating events for natural and technogenic extraordinary situations. Methods are considered for increasing the accuracy of predicting the time of the occurrence of initiating events and for estimating their frequency.
