NASLOV: Application of Benfords Law on Enviormental Data
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK: 

This presentation provides an overview of the application of Benford's Law as a novel approach to assess data quality and integrity within Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA). LCA is a critical methodology for evaluating environmental impacts, yet its reliability is highly dependent on the quality of the underlying data, which can often be subject to inconsistencies or potential biases. This study explores the utility of Benford's Law by applying conformity tests to numerical data found in several Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) databases. The work demonstrates how this statistical tool can reveal patterns indicative of potential data anomalies. The research highlights Benford's Law as a simple, computationally efficient, and robust method for enhancing data quality assessment in LCA. Its application offers a valuable means to identify potential issues and improve the overall reliability of environmental impact evaluations.

Seminar bo potekal v živo, s pričetkom ob 16:00 uri v učilnici FAMNIT-VP2.

Vabljeni.
