By applying the benchmark dose approach, Suwazono et al. [ 31] examined the benchmark durations of working hours for development of fatigue symptoms in Japanese workers.
Regarding reporting, the Health Council suggests reporting the duration in 90th or 95th percentiles and adds that a wait-time reporting system should inform on the time for typical cases relative to existing benchmarks, duration of interval for outliers, and changes over time.
As another example, for some classes of effects, the expected relationship between a benchmark dose (BMD) and duration of exposure might be reflected by Haber's law (toxicity depends on the product of concentration and exposure time), which may be used to adjust the BMD to other exposure durations.
The Lehman index is an industry benchmark with an intermediate-term duration of about five years.
Bond managers have kept portfolio duration close to their benchmark index, approximately five years.
In Figures 3 and 4, we show the precision and recall improvements compared to the benchmark (s_{5}), obtained respectively with the duration and regularity metrics.
If these are long-term investments of at least three years, then wouldn't a more appropriate benchmark be a treasury with a duration of at least three years?
Within an extensive performance analysis, we identified and significantly improved an integrator optimizer pair which decreases the fitting duration for a realistic benchmark model by a factor over 3000 compared to MATLAB with optimization toolbox.
No. 5: Why did they pick a Treasury benchmark [Merrill Lynch US Treasury Bill Index] with durations less than one year as the benchmark?
In the alternative scenario, as d increases, the cost of treatment of longer waiters is declining slowly, which implies a higher cost for treating patients with short, as well as medium durations, relative to the benchmark case (see Table 2).
