PBFE Numerical Illustration v1.1.0 — UQ and Target-Oriented Extension
This release extends the reproducible reduced-form numerical illustration for the Performance-Based Food Engineering (PBFE) framework.
New in v1.1.0
- Continuous Monte Carlo verification of the synthetic conditional hierarchy.
- First-order reliability method (FORM) approximation at the illustrative
DV = 1limit. - Local design-point directional-cosine diagnostics.
- Six one-dimensional synthetic parameter-to-target scenarios.
- A manuscript-facing target-oriented assessment figure.
- Machine-readable diagnostics, sensitivity results, and target profiles.
- A presentation-only update to the loss-exceedance figure that adds a small lower-axis margin without changing the numerical results.
The authoritative direct discrete exceedance probability remains:
P(DV > 1) = 0.09591450211754649
Continuous Monte Carlo verification gives:
P(DV > 1) = 0.095851- standard error =
0.0002943868 N = 1,000,000- seed =
20260810
The FORM approximation gives:
beta = 1.22556P_FORM = 0.110182
For the illustrative 5% probability target, resolved one-dimensional parameter crossings are obtained for the LAI nominal mean, TFP-link nominal mean, normalized-loss nominal mean, and normalized-loss COV scenarios. No 5% crossing was resolved for the LAI-COV or TFP-COV scenario in the extended numerical search.
All numerical relationships and parameter scenarios are synthetic. They do not represent calibrated agricultural interventions, empirical economic models, or validated strategy rankings.
