The Fuzzy Numerical Index (FNI) is a valuable quantitative descriptor of the spatial similarities and differences between maps and was included in our comparisons, following [26].
A quantitative descriptor (Acrolein Resistance Factor = ARF) was firstly designed for quantifying the influence of both acrolein concentration and time of exposure on yeast growth.
For the trade-off method which requires the evaluation of the single-attribute function for the adjusted attribute a linearity assumption is made with respect to the quantitative descriptor of the attribute.
CYCLoPs is primarily accessible via a Web interface, with a focus on providing easy and efficient access to a genome-wide database of quantitative descriptors of protein dynamics, and to assist biologists in experiment planning and hypothesis generation.
Then, for all taxa group comparisons considered, classification models were built to assess the effectiveness of a comprehensive set of 52 quantitative descriptors of the structure and complexity of NIPs in distinguishing the groups.
Our aim is to propose faunal biomass flux and biomass distribution as quantitative descriptors of soil community composition and function, and to illustrate the application of these allometric indicators to soil systems.
Particular structural parameters are relevant quantitative descriptors of the air space and cells of the different tissues.
Third, we restricted the analysis of curve shape to several simple, yet quantitative, descriptors of enhancement which reflect clinical practice.
Scores obtained by training classification models to discriminate groups of taxa based on quantitative descriptors of the structure and complexity of their Networks of Interacting Pathways (NIPs).
