    4. Using Uncertainty to Manage Vulcano risk response Aspinall et al Geol Soc _.pdf

    5. Uncertainty from random sampling ...omits important sources of uncertainty NRC(2003) Harvard-Kuwait project (RESS-PM25.pdf)

    6. History Structured Expert Judgment in Risk Analysis WASH 1400 (Rasmussen Report, 1975) IEEE Std 500 (1977) Canvey Island (1978) NUREG 1150 (1989) T-book (Swedish Reliability Data Base 1994) USNRC-EU (1995-1997) Guidance on Uncertainty and Use of Experts. NUREG/CR-6372, 1997 Procedures Guide for Structured Expert Judgment, EUR 18820EN, 2000

    7. Goals of an EJ study Census Political consensus Rational consensus EJCoursenotes_review-EJ-literature.doc

    8. EJ for RATIONAL CONSENSUS: RESS-TUDdatabase.pdf Parties pre-commit to a method which satisfies necessary conditions for scientific method: Traceability/accountability Neutrality (dont encourage untruthfulness) Fairness (ab initio, all experts equal) Empirical control (performance meast) Withdrawal post hoc incurs burden of proof. Goal: comply with principals and combine experts judgments to get a Good Probability Assessor Classical Model for EJ

    9. What is a GOOD subjective probability assessor? Calibration, statistical likelihood Are the experts probability statements statistically accurate? P-value of statistical test Informativeness Probability mass concentrated in a small region, relative to background measure Nominal values near truth ?

    10. Combined Score Long run strictly proper scoring rule Calibration ? information ? cutoff Requires that experts assess uncertainty for variables for which we (will) know the true values: Calibration / performance / seed variables any expert, or combination of experts, can be regarded as a statistical hypothesis

    11. Expert Judgment is NOT Knowledge Observations NOT EJ methods - produces agreement among experts EJ is for quantifying ....not removing..... uncertainty.

    12. Experts CAN quantify uncertainty as subjective probability

    13. Including 6700 calibration variables

    14. Calibration questions for PM2.5 RESS-PM25.pdf In London 2000, weekly average PM10 was 18.4 g/m3. What is the ratio: # non-accidental deaths in the week with the highest average PM10 concentration (33.4 g/m3) ???????????????????????? Weekly average # non-accidental deaths. 5% :_______ 25%:_______ 50% :_______ 75%:________95%:________

    15. Experts confidence does NOT predict performance Very informative assessors may be statistically least accurate PM25-Range-graphs.doc

    17. Treat Experts as Statistical Hypotheses

    21. We CAN do better than equal weighting RESS-TUDdatabase.pdf

    22. Out-of-sample Validation RESS_response2comments.pdf

    23. Post hoc validation real estate risk

    24. Experts like performance assessment Ask them Aspinall_mvo_exerpts.pdf, Aspinall et al Geol Soc _.pdf , Aspinall & Cooke PSAM4 3-9.pdf, SparksAspinall_VolcanicActivity.pdf

    25. In the first few weeks of the Montserrat crisis there was perhaps, at times, some unwarranted scientific dogmatism about what might or might not happen at the volcano, especially in terms of it turning magmatic and explosive. The confounding effects of these diverging, categorical stances were then compounded for a short while by an overall diminution in communication between scientists and the various civil authorities. The result was a dip in the confidence of the authorities in the MVO team and, with it, some loss of public credibility; this was not fully restored until later, when a consensual approach was achieved.
