However, the choice of performance measures and benchmark remain different from one researcher to another.
As Eberhart et al. (1999) demonstrate, the choice of performance metrics significantly determines the study results.
FSE requires, moreover, the choice of performance levels, fire models and, generally, advanced thermo-mechanical analyses.
Once the goal of the experiment is defined, it will guide the choice of performance measures, as we describe next.
The levels of industrial and geographical aggregation together with the choice of performance measures, specialization and diversity indicators are the main causes for the lack of resolution in the debate.
Our study adds to the emerging literature on the choice of performance measures and its impact on managerial decisions (e.g., Marquardt and Wiedman, 2005; Young and Yang, 2011; Shalev et al., 2013; Huang et al., 2014).
The parallelism and the randomness of the algorithm bring additional issues to the application of statistical methods for the evaluation of performance, such as the choice of performance measures, the data distribution of these measures, and the variability brought by parallel executions.
In later sections we show that our conclusions are not sensitive to the choice of performance measure.
The choice of performance measures may be facilitated by considering a telemedicine network as a 'black box'.
In this study, we investigate the choice of performance indicators and statistical models to explain premature and all-age practice population mortality from CHD.
