Tiivistelmä	Robust Event Tree Analysis (Robust ETA) extends classical event tree analysis by explicitly accounting for uncertainty in the probability estimates assigned to each branch. Rather than treating branch probabilities as precise point values, the robust approach represents them as intervals, probability distributions, or imprecise probabilities, then propagates that uncertainty through the tree to produce outcome frequency ranges instead of single numbers. This gives decision-makers a clearer picture of the confidence in risk estimates under realistic conditions of incomplete or conflicting information.	Robust Failure Mode and Effects Analysis extends the classical FMEA framework by explicitly incorporating noise factors, parameter variability, and environmental variation into the risk assessment process. Rather than treating failure likelihood as a single deterministic estimate, it uses robust design principles — most notably from Taguchi's quality engineering — to evaluate how process variability and uncontrollable noise factors influence the probability and severity of each failure mode, yielding risk priority numbers that reflect real-world variability.
