Population movement under extreme events.
T he last century has witnessed the fastest population growth in human history, with the result that, for the first time, more than 50% of the world population lives in cities. This process is still advancing. According to United Nations predictions, urban population will exceed 75% of the world’s population by 2070. Furthermore, estimates are that if the current trends continue, by the end of ...
متن کاملThe Bayesian View of Extreme Events
A key step in “Designing for the Consequences of Hazard” is choosing which hazards to design for. This paper argues that the Bayesian perspective is the rational and prudent framework.
متن کاملRisk of Extreme Events Under Nonstationary Conditions
The concept of the return period is widely used in the analysis of the risk of extreme events and in engineering design. For example, a levee can be designed to protect against the 100-year flood, the flood which on average occurs once in 100 years. Use of the return period typically assumes that the probability of occurrence of an extreme event in the current or any future year is the same. Ho...
متن کاملProjections of temperature-related excess mortality under climate change scenarios
Background Climate change can directly affect human health by varying exposure to non-optimal outdoor temperature. However, evidence on this direct impact at a global scale is limited, mainly due to issues in modelling and projecting complex and highly heterogeneous epidemiological relationships across different populations and climates. Methods We collected observed daily time series of mean...
متن کاملHeuristics as Bayesian inference under extreme priors
Simple heuristics are often regarded as tractable decision strategies because they ignore a great deal of information in the input data. One puzzle is why heuristics can outperform full-information models, such as linear regression, which make full use of the available information. These "less-is-more" effects, in which a relatively simpler model outperforms a more complex model, are prevalent ...
