Abstract

Importance measures are a well-known concept developed in reliability theory. Here, we apply this concept to assumption-based reasoning, a field which in fact is quite close to reliability theory. Based on quasi-supporting and supporting arguments, we develop two concepts of importance measures and show how they are related to the ones from reliability theory.
