Limitations of the analysis: Comleity of the BN Number of SRM comutations required In articular, satial correlation can be handled only aroimately Certain deendence must be simlified Markov assumtion 50 Satial modelling of the EQ hazard Straub D., Bensi M., Der Kiureghian A Proc.

26 System erformance models are also not straightforward But a formalism for establishing them has been develoed: Bensi M., 200. PhD thesis, UC Berkeley 54 Discussion Bayesian network models enable the robabilistic modeling of comle systems Particularily efficient when he roblem can be comartialized conditional statistical indeendences They are ideal for roblems with evolving information as they allow model udating ad learning Comutational limitations eist, which make a careful modeling necessary BNs are a modelling tool: The models must still be develoed and data must be collected 55 26
