In this paper, we introduce a new importance measure, the differential importance measure (DIM), for probabilistic safety assessment (PSA). DIM responds to the need of the analyst/decision maker to get information about the importance of proposed changes that affect component properties and multiple basic events. DIM is directly applicable to both the basic events and the parameters of the PSA model. Unlike the Fussell-Vesely (FV), risk achievement worth (RAW), Birnbaum, and criticality importance measures, DIM is additive, i.e. the DIM of groups of basic events or parameters is the sum of the individual DIMs. We discuss the difference between DIM and other local sensitivity measures that are based on normalized partial derivatives. An example is used to demonstrate the evaluation of DIM at both the basic event and the parameter level. To compare the results obtained with DIM at the parameter level, an extension of the definitions of FV and RAW is necessary. We discuss possible extensions and compare the results of the three measures for a more realistic example. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
