Hybrid Event Tree Analysis — Integrated Probabilistic Risk Assessment

Hybrid Event Tree Analysis (Hybrid ETA) extends classical Event Tree Analysis by integrating complementary methods — such as Bayesian networks, fuzzy set theory, or Monte Carlo simulation — to overcome ETA's limitations in handling uncertainty, dependency between events, and sparse data. It is applied in safety-critical industries to model accident sequences and quantify outcome probabilities with greater fidelity than standalone ETA.
