Risk Assessment Methods

If your Risk Assessment is wrong ... ... mitigation is addressing Waste


the wrong problems
Bad Decisions

How do you know it works? Effectiveness of


methods not verified

Some methods are


known not to work

Methods that do work


are not used

Probability x Loss Assumes Risk Neutral Risk of extensive defaults Low


(most people are risk averse) on subprime loans
Risk of novel financial Low
Loses Information products
Risk of failure of AIG Low

Risk Assessment Problems

Catastrophic Overconfidence
Near misses or survivals
increase risk tolerance

Logical Errors Misconception of Chance

Conjunction Fallacy

Law of Small Numbers

Variance in Small Samples

Insensitivity to Prior Probabilities

Framing Posing question differently gets


different answers

Experience of “Experts” Non-Random

(Selective) Memory-Based

Logical Errors in Conclusions

Inconsistent

Ordinal Scales

High – Medium – Low 1–2–3–4–5  Unlikely – Possible - Likely






Understanding varies widely


between individuals

Range Compression High = > €100m €500m is also High

They are not units of measure


Clustering Cannot be added / multiplied
2 is not twice as good as 1

They ignore (psychological) research


Presumption of Regular Intervals Bias
Framing
Inconsistency
No Validation against Reality
Etc.

Probability and Measurement

Probability Wrong Distribution


Unambiguous description of uncertainty
50% Probability = Total Uncertainty Not everything is Gaussian

Measurement
Catastrophes, common mode
Observation based and cascade failures tend to be
Power Law
uncertainty reduction
about a quantity

You think you can’t measure it?


It has been done before
You have more data than you think
You need less data than you think
Getting more data is more economical than you think
You probably need completely different data than you think

Answer 1 – Know our Risk Appetite
Answer 2 – Model the Risks

Document Risk Appetite/Tolerance

Model Uncertain Systems

Answer 3 - Calibration

Calibrated Estimators
Give estimates with ranges which are correct 90%
of the time.
Know the confidence of binary (true/false)
answers.
It is not very difficult to learn! (1/2 day training)

After calibration, 9 out of 10


answers will be in the given range.

The resulting range may be wide, but it can be narrowed


by MEASUREMENT.

Answer 4 – Monte Carlo Simulation
Advanced

Monte Carlo Simulation


Generates 1000’s of random values for each
variable in a model and shows the distribution of
the results.

Easily implemented with Excel or other tools.

Can take
• Distributions
• Correlations
into account.

Answer 5 – Bayes 1/2
Very Advanced
Bayesian Networks
Update prior knowledge with new information.
Invert conditional probabilities.

Nothing known about Design,


Complexity, Testing Quality or
amount of usage.

Additional Information

Answer 5 – Bayes 2/2

Bayesian Networks
Update prior knowledge with new information.

Additional Information

If zero defects found in


testing
and
complexity known to be high

Defects expected in operation


are lower, but

there is a high probability that


testing was poor
and design was good
