The U.S. Geological Survey has a page analyzing bear attacks in Alaska.
It is based completely on statistics, rather than one person's direct, hard-won, and sometimes long and bitter personal experience, gained through many decades, deep in the bush, and for which there is no substitute, apparently.

It draws several interesting conclusions, but also suggests, perhaps disappointingly, that "Bear attacks are very, very rare phenonmen in Alaska, bearing testimony to the great pains these animals take to avoid humans. "
