Risk Aggregation Calculation of Delta Risk Quotient and Maximum Risk

Usage

risk_aggregation(df_risk)

Arguments

df_risk

A dataframe created by get_risk()

Value

A list of 2, the delta risk quotient and the maximum risk

Details

The Delta Risk Quotient (RQ) is the average increase of high-risk scenarios caused by fertilization. A high-risk scenarios are defined as scenraios with a final RQ higher than 1. The increase refers to a comparison between two similar scenarios, the only difference is the application of fertilizer.

The maximum risk is the average RQ of the upper 5% of the RQ-Distribution. It is meant to describe the upper tail of the distribution.
