Importance Measures
摘要
Importance measures, also known as importance factorsImportance factor, evaluate the influence of input probabilities on the top event probability [1–3]. In other words, they quantify how changes in a single input probability affect the probability of the top event. These measures offer a quantitative perspective on the key contributors to the system’s risk and sensitivitySensitivity to variations in input parameters: The higher the importance factor of a basic event, the more significant its role in the overall system reliability. Therefore, obtaining accurate data on its exact value is essential.
