  • Abstract
    This paper describes a reliability model that was developed to estimate the risk of a successful termite attack on a house in Australia. The model of termite attack was based on the use of information obtained from a national database and on a formal survey of expert opinion. This information was embedded in a reliability model that is used to predict risk. Such models are an essential component of risk management strategies.
