The resource utilizations are ranked according to the utilization error, where over-utilization is considered infinitely bad.
Each ACG represents a set of patients with a similar health resource utilization, so as to facilitate analysis of the results of the ACGs, which are in turn grouped into six categories or resource utilization bands (RUBs), according to expected utilization of resources, ranging from zero (RUB 0) to very high (RUB 5).
NYU Professor Dermot Gately had suggested that prices moved according to capacity utilization in OPEC, as in the following figure (later used by the Energy Information Administration, among many others).
In particular, labor costs (medical staff, nursing staff, med.-technical staff, and ancillary staff) have to be allocated to cost-centers according to actual utilization.
The main idea behind this concept is to allow companies to acquire computational resources on demand, and pay according to the utilization volume (Armbrust et al. 2009).
The author of (Rong 2008) proposes another replication scheme for peer-to-peer video systems that adapts the number of replicas according to their utilization rate.
The simplified rating grid of surface waters shown in Table 1 establishes five dominant classes according to the utilization goals for which the water is intended.
According to spectrum utilization report of FCC [1], there is a large variation in spectrum usage intensity that some bands are heavily used, while others have light usage.
The RL approach was applied at the level of the SUs where they dynamically rank channels according to PU utilization and packet error rate during data transmission to increase throughput of SUs and QoS levels while reducing delays.
