Abstract
Risk metrics are essential for expressing, communicating, and using the results of risk analysis in risk-informed decision-making. Authors explain the fundamental issues concerning the interpretation and choice of such metrics and provide practical guidance for this purpose.
Their main contribution is a clarification of 11 evaluation criteria that can be used as a basis for discussing and evaluating risk metrics in dialog with relevant stakeholders in an analytic-deliberative process. They summarize the criteria in an overall discussion on informative, value-related, and analytical issues affecting the interpretation and choice of risk metrics. Three examples are provided to illustrate.
