risk quantification

Definition

Attaching a probability to the happening of a negative event. If it is certain that an event cannot occur, it is given a probability of 0; if it is certain that it will occur, it is given a probability of 1. Uncertain risks are assigned between 0 and 1. Maximum risk at maximum uncertainty occurs when its probability is 0.5.
