The phrase "applying a weighted average" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it in contexts involving statistical analysis, finance, or any situation where you need to calculate an average that takes into account the relative importance of different values.
Example: "In our analysis, we are applying a weighted average to better reflect the significance of each data point in our final results."
Alternatives: "calculating a weighted mean" or "using a weighted average method."
Since it could not possibly examine the internal accounts of the hundreds of firms cited by the shrimpers, most people expected the department to take its traditional approach: look at the three biggest exporters in each country and apply a weighted average of their tariff rates to everybody else.Unfortunately, the Commerce Department had recently taken a different approach.
A confidence metric has been added to the ID algorithm which mainly applies a weighted average of the sensed channel states to arrive at the final decision.
Annual costs of caring for patients on each of these were applied to the proportion of patients receiving that type of treatment to give a weighted average cost.
For the leaders, which are defined as the sensors that can directly obtain the measurements of the target, standard Kalman filters are applied; for the followers, a weighted average strategy with delay compensation is applied.
In this case, a weighted average scheme is applied, and the weight associated to a measurement is calculated according to an exponential function which takes as input the time difference between the current time t k and the time stamp attached to this measurement.
A weighted average was applied within studies to combine multiple comparator arms.
We applied a smoothing filter such that a weighted average was computed for the timeseries of each eccentricity bin and all bins at distance of 1 (50% weighting) and 2 (25% weighting) at the iso-polar angle representations.
We report both a non-weighted and a weighted average, in which we apply double weight for clinicians.
The Rosetta error model [ 80] was applied to dye-swapped pairs of hybridizations to compute a weighted average ratio per gene and the corresponding p-value indicating the probability a gene is falsely classified as deregulated.
A full-width half-maximum Gaussian kernel of 4 mm was applied in seed space, meaning a tractogram from a given seed voxel became a weighted average of tractograms from neighbouring seed voxels.
Thus, the concept of "quasispecies" [223]-[227] could be applied in which the genome "cannot be described as a defined structure, but rather as a weighted average of a large number of individual sequences" [228].
