Sintesi	Bayesian Event Tree Analysis (B-ETA) is a quantitative risk assessment method that extends classical event tree analysis by incorporating Bayesian inference to assign and update branch probabilities. Starting from an initiating event, it maps sequences of successes and failures through safety barriers, using prior distributions and observed evidence to produce posterior outcome probabilities. Widely used in nuclear safety, process industries, and system reliability engineering.	Bayesian FMEA extends the classical Failure Mode and Effects Analysis framework by replacing fixed point-estimate risk scores with probability distributions, allowing prior engineering knowledge and observed failure data to be formally combined through Bayes' theorem. The result is a probabilistic Risk Priority Number (RPN) that reflects uncertainty in severity, occurrence, and detectability ratings rather than masking it with single consensus values.
