- Computation of Risk Indices by Simulation Procedures (CRISP); main objects represented in the CRISP 2 model; "behavior editor" panel - pop-up menus select the current activity, the conditions which may cause that activity to change, and the subsequent action(s) for the selected condition; layout of the house simulated by the model; Fractional Effective Dose (FED); percentage of occupants with FED 10-100%; percentage of occupants with FED 100% (i.e., 'dead'); average FED (%) of all the occupants; correlation between number of deaths and average FED; variance reduction using average FED - if the relative error of the average FED were the same as the error of the number of deaths, the points would be scattered around the dottel line
