Vegetation as a nature-based solution for increasing flood risk has convincingly shown potential for flood hazard (wave load) reduction but lacks generalized results. In this study we have introduced stochastic dependence modeling using non-parametric Bayesian networks (NPBN) for vegetated coastal systems where the system was parametrized using continuous marginal distributions, and likely (conditional) correlations among variables. The model represented a consistent joint probability distribution and hence can be used to generate physically realistic conditions in data-scare environments. It adds value to numerical modeling by reducing the number of simulations required to get meaningful generalized results. Main findings, that were derived by using a NPBN, help to pave way for implementation of nature-based solutions for a range of realistic conditions that can be found across global coastal foreshores.Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): https://youtu.be/T6TP0DH0qMw

SummaryCase histories suitable for statistical evaluation can be found even as far back as in the Corpus Hippocraticum. Such simple data as the patient’s age, body weight, size, the date of menarche, etc. are practically always included in the case records, and it is demonstrated that, when such data are recorded in a system of documentation suitable for mechanical sorting, it may enable us to draw conclusions of very great importance. Mechanical registration methods have revealed that, in the determination and recording of data as hitherto carried out. there has been a surprisingly large number of errors and a high degree of unreliability. This view has a considerable influence on modern clinical methods; it renders a more democratic relation between physician and patient necessary and makes clear the need for measures to enhance the reliability of diagnosis and treatment of pathological conditions. The author illustrates this view with reference to the mechanical falsification of the thesis of the proneness of early age groups to lupus vulgaris, furthermore with reference to the mechanical rationalization of modern routine diagnostic methods, to the constant surveillance of adverse effects on public health and to the protection against allergic reactions with the aid of recording systems of personal allergy and intolerance data with mechanical sorting and computer techniques.
