Geographical Distribution of Radiation Risks in the Netherlands
Health Physics, 1998Risk assessment of exposure to sources of radiation is an important tool for national governments in regulating radionuclide emissions and thus reducing radiation doses for the general public. For this reason radiation doses from sources throughout The Netherlands have been analyzed.

Journal of Economic Psychology, 1988
Abstract Risk and income distribution have been linked together in theory but rarely empirically due to the absence of adequate risk-profile data. We employ for the first time psychologically-based risk data to examine this important relationship.

On matrix-exponential distributions in risk theory [PDF]
, 2008 In this paper, a particular class of matrix-exponential distributions is described, also with respect to its use in risk theory, namely phase-type distributions. Phase-type distributions have the important advantage of being suitable for approximating most of other distributions as well as being mathematically tractable.

Distributing Risks and Responsibilities
Social Studies of Science, 2007Coordinated responses to flooding in the New Orleans area date back to at least the early 18 century when the Company of the Indies built a mile long bulwark on a natural levee. Since that early project, corporations, NGOs, and local, state, and federal governments have taken numerous steps to limit the risk of flooding including building extensive ...

Graphical presentation of distributions of risk in screening
Journal of Medical Screening, 2005Objective: The screening performance of tests involving multiple markers is usually presented visually as two Gaussian relative frequency distributions of risk, one curve relating to affected and the other to unaffected individuals. If the distribution of the underlying screening markers is approximately Gaussian, risk estimates based on the same ...

Body Weight Distributions for Risk Assessment
Risk Analysis, 2007Precise age‐specific average body weight estimates are necessary for deterministic risk assessments, and an accurate body weight distribution is equally important in probabilistic risk assessments. Age‐specific body weight distributions for U.S. residents are estimated using NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) data collected in ...

Distributed sensemaking in network risk analysis
Risk Analysis, 2022AbstractThis article responds to the call advancing risk science as an independent research field, by introducing a conceptual model for risk analysis based on distributed sensemaking. Significant advances in recent decades have expanded the use of risk analysis to almost every organization globally.

Risk and distributional inequality.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1984Abstract : A distributional model of risk is described in which it is hypothesized that people's judgments of risk are similar to the kinds of judgments made in welfare economics concerning inequality of income distributions. The role played by the Lorenz curve in analyzing inequality is described and it is shown how Lorenz curves can be used to ...

Risk, Job Search, and Income Distribution
Journal of Political Economy, 1974One of the by-products of the literature which followed the publication of Phillips's (1958) well-known paper was the development and elaboration of models of individual behavior in labor-market disequilibrium (see Phelps [1969] for a survey). In retrospect this may be the most significant consequence of the Phillips curve analysis, since the labor ...
