Evaluation of humans’ health risk is an essential and most demanding aid in relevance to the process of decision-making. Accumulation of quality knowledge on the attributes of each and every available data, information and model parameters, involved in risk assessment, plays a crucial role in the process of evaluation. It is important to note that, most frequently, model parameters are imprecise due to the availability of limited data and knowledge. Under such circumstances, probability theory (PT) and the theory of fuzzy sets can be brought forth to deal with the emerging uncertainties. There is also a need to devise an amalgamate technique to perform health risk assessment under uncertainty. Although some different approaches are available in this regard, all approaches are situation or problem dependent and fail to address some specific issues. Therefore, this article presents a general amalgamate technique to address all the concerned issues, and, finally, health risk is carried out using this approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
