'... a timely topic, and a very interesting book ... It is very detailed and academically rigorous ...' Charles K. Davis, Reviews.com 'The book provides a scientific framework apt to evaluate the quality of risk assessments and in particular their flexibility to specifically required purposes ... The book gives useful tools for graduate students and researchers as well for professionals.' Zentralblatt MATH This is a timely topic, and a very interesting book. This book provides a scientific underpinning for the concepts and methods of risk analysis, with a theoretical framework and terminology that provide a platform for further analysis and understanding. Charles K. Davis, Computing Reviews The work is short, yet that is its advantage. It concisely presents the material in eight well-written chapters, appended with conclusions (chapter 9) and two appendices that cover theoretical fundamentals (probability, statistical inference, and Bayesian methods) and specific risk terminology. The text provides an extensive bibliography, and is suitable for everyone interested in understanding quantitative risk analysis. Piotr Cholda, Computing Reviews There is no doubt that this is a valuable book for researcher who seek a scientific base and platform for general quantitative risk assessment. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to anyone interested in quantitative risk analysis, including those interested in statistics. To sum up, this is a useful reference book on general quantitative risk assessment. Zudi Lu, Mathematical Reviews
