We did not assess the use of PPR across settings and cannot comment on its ability to measure relative performance across facilities.
However, by calculating the ratio of the sensitivity or specificity of two tests, we developed a method, which yields a value that measures relative performance.
Good instincts come from experience, and trusting one's instincts these days in a world of institutional measures, relative performance and style-drift fears, well, it rarely exists.
Performance comparison studies have been conducted between a message passing interface (MPI) [ 51], Dryad [ 52], and a Hadoop MapReduce programming framework for measuring relative performance using three bioinformatics applications [ 53].
No longer will Sanchez find his performance measured relative to what is expected of rookie quarterbacks — which is not much.
Specifically, ISS has developed a new metric that compares the relative degree of alignment between the CEO's annualized total awarded compensation and the company's performance as calculated by ISS based on six financial metrics, with both compensation and financial performance being measured relative to an ISS-selected peer group over a three-year period.
But more importantly, even when performance was measured relative to the identical number of preceding correct implementation trials, this efficiency gain persisted both in accuracy and in speed.
In the analysis, their performance was being measured relative to their benchmarks, essentially asking, for every different class of asset, whether the funds performed better or worse than a corresponding index fund would have.
Their system is capable of processing up to 170 fps with 800 × 600 pixel images and, although its real time performance should be measured relative to the acquisition frame rate, it appears to be significantly high for the current state of technology.
Therefore, the performance of RR is measured relative to RSR.
