Indeed, some of the spectral graph measures for the field sites more closely approximate a purely hypothetical no-historical-contingency benchmark graph.
So, based on these benchmarks our hypothetical clinic is meeting realistic operating goals.
To create a custom benchmark for the hypothetical allocation cited above, multiply 25% by -11.9% for the blue-chip component, add 10% times 2.5% for the small stocks, and so on.
The BPI, or Buying Power Index, was a hypothetical figure that served as a benchmark against which sales performance could be measured.
(In this calculation my picks, but not the benchmark, are debited for a hypothetical 1% trading cost).
By constructing a hypothetical portfolio that invested in six market benchmarks according to these allocations, I then calculated the performance of each newsletter portfolio's investment policy.
That is not always possible in finance: when markets are illiquid or thinly traded, hypothetical numbers may be needed to produce a benchmark.
When SPINdex products first came out in 2003, the fund companies were allowed to compare the hypothetical index return to the return of a standard benchmark.
If such a variable can be extracted, it could be used as a benchmark to examine whether each of the hypothetical facets occupies a unique portion of the construct variance.
