English term or phrase: Conditional risk equation
Hello everybody.

It's a document about risk analysis. This is a title. I'm not sure about risk equation in french. "équation risque" sounds strange. I thought about 'facteur de risque' but i'm pretty sure there is a standard equivalent.

Thank you

La formule de calcul de la probabilité conditionnelle du risque
Explanation:
Whoever was taught Probability or Statistics knows the definition of conditional probability

I prefer 'formule de calcul' to 'équation' because the purpose is to determine a conditional probability rather than to solve an equation
