On the application of near accident data to risk analysis of major accidents

N Khakzad, F Khan, N Paltrinieri - Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2014 - Elsevier
Major accidents are low frequency high consequence events which are not well supported
by conventional statistical methods due to data scarcity. In the absence or shortage of major …

Vulnerability of industrial plants to flood-induced natechs: A Bayesian network approach

N Khakzad, P Van Gelder - Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2018 - Elsevier
In the context of natural-technological (natech) accidents, flood-induced damage of
industrial plants have received relatively less attention mainly due to the scarcity of such …

Precursor-based hierarchical Bayesian approach for rare event frequency estimation: a case of oil spill accidents

M Yang, FI Khan, L Lye - Process safety and environmental protection, 2013 - Elsevier
