Disease risk was predicted using the WSSTA (weekly SST anomaly) metric, which counted the number of weeks during the previous one-year period for which the temperature anomaly was at or above +1°C.
Number of false positives alone is of limited utility in assessing aligner performance, however positive predictive value (PPV) provides a useful metric which combines counts of both true and false positives in a single value (Table 6).
LETX and ZigBee metrics are also sensitive to link quality and give a better performance than the Hop count metric, which selects the shortest paths regardless of their quality and suffers frequent path failures.
We then found the slope (m) of the line that most closely matched the known, simulated slope was calculated as the median ratio of test to control counts, a metric which has been used previously [ 38] (Additional File 1, Figure S10 and Supplemental Methods 8).
For instance, the hop count (HC) metric, which is the most widely used route selection metric in ad hoc networks [10, 11], is based on the notion of the ideal communication link model, i.e., either communication is perfect or no communication at all.
De Couto et al. present a path selection metric, which is called expected transmission (ETX) count.
In addition, we devise two layer-structured extension schemes based on a counting cycle algorithm and an EMD metric which are applied to design RC-LDPC codes.
However, the LETX metric, which takes into account link qualities, performs very closely to the Hop count metric in terms of path length.
Interferer neighbors count routing metric (INX) is a radio aware routing metric which actually the improved version of ETX by considering the interference parameters to optimize the radio resource utilization cost [63].
The ETX metric, which estimates the expected number of transmission attempts for a packet through a link, was one of the first means for increasing performance in MWNs to be proposed as an alternative to the hop count metric.
