Specifically, the countries that perform best on the subject achievement metric appear on average to have more negative feelings about the subject area.
As shown in the top subfigure in Fig. 6, our proposed scheme outperforms the other two schemes on the performance metric of average utility.
In almost all of these simulations, the informativeness metric accurately estimated the correct number of clusters simulated, with the only other metric, the gap statistic demonstrating similar consistent performance, while the remaining metrics performed on average, quite poorly.
Further, ρ is a distance metric and δ ε the rejection tolerance in that metric space, such that on average a proportion ε of all simulated points is accepted.
For instance, the cement industry creates about 5% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions; in the United States, producing a metric ton of portland cement releases, on average, an estimated 0.95 metric ton of CO2 equivalent [for more information on cement manufacturing, see sidebar at left].
