Zoboli, O., D. Laner, M. Zessner, and H. Rechberger. 2015. Added values of time series in MFA: The Austrian phosphorus budget from 1990 to 2011. Journal of Industrial Ecology. This supporting information characterizes data uncertainty.
The CV values presented in Table 2 in the manuscript are dependent only on two parameters for each evaluation score (1 to 4). The parameter values for the different sensitivity levels are defined as follows: anot sensitive= 1.0, asensitive = 2.6, ahighly sensitive= 4.5, bnot sensitive= bsensitive= 0.71, bhighly sensitive= 0.8. For score = 1: CV = 0 For score = [1, 4]: CV = 𝑎 ∙ 𝑒 𝑏 ∙ (𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒−1) (1) The CVs for Reliability and Expert Judgment are determined using a slightly adapted function (Equation 2), because the best score should not result in zero uncertainty. The parameter values used for Reliability are a= 0.02 and b= 0.805, whereas for Expert Judgment a=0.05 and b= 0.692. For score= [1, 4]: CV = 𝑎 ∙ 𝑒 𝑏 ∙ 𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 (2) The resulting functions are depicted below in Figure 1. 100% Expert estimate
