It can be used when referring to a measurement that accurately reflects the characteristics of a larger group or population.
Example: "To ensure the validity of our study, we took a representative measurement of the sample population."
Alternatives: "an indicative measurement" or "a typical measurement".
The location of temperature measurement must provide a representative measurement of the change in temperature that will affect the machine structure.
For a representative measurement of soil water content and its changes at the scale of a forest stand, information about the spatial and temporal variability has to be taken into account.
The accuracy of the algorithms is not a representative measurement especially for software tools that the most important factor for evaluation is the subjective opinion of the users.
These objectives included developing students' appreciation of the need for accuracy in measurement and to pay careful attention to scale, competence in representing variation in measurement values and describing the shapes of data sets, confidence in predicting a representative measurement and skills in explaining variation in data sets.
A total of 6 27 clones were sequenced for each sample to obtain a representative measurement for the diversity within the viral gene.
A representative measurement of the relative position of collagen fibrils in cross section was determined from the proximal and distal amniotic tissue.
Furthermore, polysomnography will most likely limited the measurement to a single night whereas accelerometers such as Actical will allow measurement of sleep duration over a period of several days and therefore provide a more representative measurement of sleep duration.
Intraobserver reliability was ≥0.95 for all representative measurements.
Representative measurement of the absolute (a) eigenfrequencies f n and (b) quality factors Q n of modes 1 to 4. The dashed line in (a) was calculated according to the theory describing the fundamental mode of vibration [14].

For smaller nodules (<1 cm), particularly when the nodule is embedded within renal cortical parenchyma, this strategy repeatedly fails for two principle reasons: (1) inability to accurately place a representative ROI measurement due to lesion size and (2) volume averaging of imaging voxels containing an admixture of renal parenchyma and lesional fat, which increases Hounsfield unit density.
