It could be argued that any rule with more than one indicator is given a relatively higher weight in the evaluation system.
Simple arithmetic combination, often mistakenly called "unweighted," implies that each indicator is given the same unit weight.
Weight for each indicator was given individually by the nine expert stakeholders and then the average weight was calculated (Table 2).
Presence of an indicator was given a score from 0 2, (0 = absence, 1 = present but not exactly documented according to the definition and 2 = a clear occurrence).
The procedural similarity and clarity of the measurements, as well as multiple experimentally-controlled features [ 38] resulted in each indicator being given 3% measurement error variance.
27 Overall average PCT performance on RA, PA and percentage of QOF points scored are mapped in figure 1. Performance at the PCT level by type of indicator is given in the online appendix (see online supplementary figures A1 3).
The indicator was given to participants by the researcher and completed on paper pre- and post-deployment Activity levels, recorded through the mobile device Interview data from qualitative interviews with each user collected post-deployment Tracking data from system use, for example the screens that were viewed and how long each was viewed for.

Yet both indicators are given the same weight.The efficiency rating is based on an eclectic range of indicators, such as health-care spending as a share of GDP and whether patients visit hospitals' emergency departments for conditions that could have been treated by family doctors.
There is evidence that quantitative indicators are given greater weight than qualitative indicators, not least because the latter may be more difficult to document and measure.
