Quantitative Risk Assessment Methods: Model BuildingThis course provides participants with the opportunity to construct actual quantitative risk assessment models, while providing more in-depth training in the complexities and practicalities of quantitative methodologies. Building on knowledge from the Probabilistic Methods course, Quantitative Methods: Model Building teaches techniques for building and linking distributions so the complexity of multi-faceted problems can be reduced to a level that we can understand and explain to decision makers. Participants are encouraged to bring their own data, on-going or re-visited assessments, and ripe food safety problems to the course. Student teams will form around these activities, and simple quantitative risk assessment models will be constructed. Team and individual efforts may be saved on disk for further refinement after the course. Participants can expect to become more competent with the @Risk™ software tool. The course is conducted in a computer teaching laboratory. Lectures describe various techniques. Students then work individually or in groups to solidify their understanding of the lecture materials, and to begin to build quantitative skills. We strongly recommend Introduction to Food Safety Risk Assessment and Quantitative Methods: Probabilistic Methods as prerequisites to this course.Overview of Topics
