- Abstract
In this article, a classification model based on the majority rule sorting (MR-Sort) method is employed to evaluate the vulnerability of safety-critical systems with respect to malevolent intentional acts. The model is built on the basis of a (limited-size) set of data representing ( a priori known) vulnerability classification examples. The empirical construction of the classification model introduces a source of uncertainty into the vulnerability analysis process: a quantitative assessment of the performance of the classification model (in terms of accuracy and confidence in the assignments) is thus in order. Three different app oaches are here considered to this aim: (i) a model-retrieval-based approach, (ii) the bootstrap method, and (iii) the leave-one-out cross-validation technique. The analyses are presented with reference to an exemplificative case study involving the vulnerability assessment of nuclear power plants.
