Calculation of Human Error Probability

Calculation of Human Error Probability

• There are several techniques, will discuss THERP (Swain, 1963)
  • Start at top with probability of correct/incorrect action.
  • Next act is probability of given the last action.
  • These are conditional probabilities - They are not independent.
  • Sum of partial error probabilities at bottom is overall error probability.
