Risk Tree Analysis

The paper focuses on criticizing the risk analysis method used in Mok and Savage (2005) article “Why has safety improved at rail- highway grade crossing”. The risk cause analysis process in the article uses a negative binomial regression model for analyzing causes of increased safety at public railway crossing. Negative binomial regression analysis is used for the analysis of the number of collisions between trains and motor vehicle incidents, and for the number of deaths occurring in these incidents. The aim of the analysis was to identify the correct decisions implemented for reduction of the number of accidents (Mok & Savage, ...

Abstract

An element of bias in any decision making process may be triggered off by various factors. One factor that can have a profound impact is the deeply ingrained value system of the decision taker.

Such biases can at best be minimized and cannot be ruled out completely. Decisions are often termed as rational choices (Samuelson & Zeckhauser, 1988). Selecting the best choice highlights the rationality behind the decision making process. One can try to impersonalize the decision ...

Question One

People tasked with developing secure cryptography typically take part in various functions to ensure a secure system is created. They design, analyze, and even attempt to break their cryptographic systems (Mone, 2013). These security experts not only develop encryption algorithms but they also seek ways to bypass these algorithms. This act of breaking and bypassing their cryptographic systems is usually a means of testing to determine areas of vulnerability hence better development. On the other hand, the individuals who strive to break cryptographic systems are often viewed as malicious. This perception is usually due to the large number of ...
