Metrics, numeric values typically representing performance.
The collection service considers three types of monitoring data that can be obtained: Metrics, numeric values typically representing performance Logs, debugging data, service codes and other textual data which describes events or behaviours.
Precise "metrics," or numeric standards, on wait times would allow for equitable distribution of screeners among airports, and could create an argument for Congress to allocate more money for the agency, said Stephen D. Van Beek, executive vice president for policy at the North American branch of the Airports Council International, a trade group.
Finally, Baskerville (2003) argued that there are certain limitations to utilising Hofstede's cultural indices, such as understanding culture by means of metrics and numeric measures and the assumption of equating nations with cultures.
As we observed two kinds of attribute values, numeric and categorical, we use different metrics to evaluate the association between them.
RESYGEN is based in the selection of the best distance metrics for nominal, ordinal, numeric and binary attributes, with the aim to reduce complexity for non-expert users and also to facilitate the selection of the metric which best fits to the data type.
Numeric cuttoffs can appear arbitrary but the metrics used in this study are based on precedence set by other investigator groups and importantly, were decided upon a priori.
Research hypothesis 1: For some driving behaviour metrics, some driving tasks and some driver cohorts, there is an acceptable numeric proximity of the driving behaviour in each type of simulator and real traffic conditions; as such, no further correction is required (in the sense of absolute validity).
These two factors can be quantified through diffusion and perfusion metrics, however as they are closely correlated, their evaluation and interpretation is difficult on the basis of individual numeric parameters.
