If you have a very efficient metabolism, you will burn fewer calories for a given level of activity and the efficiency of metabolism varies within the same person.
To achieve a given level of precision with high efficiency and reliability, process automation is clearly the way forward.
While performance effectiveness refers to the quality of performance, as usually assessed by performance accuracy, processing efficiency relates the observed effectiveness to the effort invested in task processing: the higher the effort expended to reach a given level of performance effectiveness, the lower the efficiency of processing.
Disease-specific measures are acceptable for assessing technical efficiency, i.e., how to produce a given level of health outcome for the least cost.
Various intensity measures are used to inspect their efficiency in predicting the seismic demand on the pile foundation for a given level of ground motion intensity.
In economic terms, efficiency involves maximising outcomes for a given cost or minimising costs for a given level of outcome.
In the health literature, efficiency is implicitly taken to mean the production of the greatest health gains for a given level of input (see for example, [ 12]).
Robustness to noise informs on the efficiency of a representation for a given task: More efficient representations will typically tolerate more noise for a given level of performance (here, 75% accuracy).
Technical Efficiency index represents the capacity of an economy to produce a higher level of Gross Domestic Product for a given level of total energy input.
Technical efficiency (TE) refers to the ability of a decision making unit to produce maximum output that is feasible from a given level of inputs (i.e. maximizing output from a given level of inputs).
Productive efficiency is achieved when the maximum output is produced with a given budget for inputs, or alternatively, it is achieved when a given level of output is produced with the least costly mix of inputs.
