Abstract
Traditional statistical theory is the most common tool used for trend analysis in accident data. In this paper, we point at some serious problems in using this theory in a practical safety management setting. An alternative approach is presented and discussed in which focus is on observable quantities and expressing uncertainties regarding these rather than on hypothetical probability distributions.
