As the mean relative importance is measured on an arbitrary scale, we have normalized the most important attribute (highest coefficient as illustrated in Table 5) as 10 units and measured the other attributes' importance relative to this change (illustrated in Figure 1).
Therefore, researchers cannot know what level respondents impute to a specific attribute relative to other attributes.
Afterwards, the models are solved using a simple mathematical optimization software and fuzzy weights of every attribute, relative to other attributes from the same competitive advantage, are calculated.
Socio-economic differences in health preferences are modelled by allowing the marginal utility of money relative to health attributes to vary across respondents.
How do people value different attributes relative to other attributes in the context of healthcare resource allocation decisions?
The hypothesized lower entropy of ordinary consciousness relative to primary consciousness is attributed to this reduction of freedom.
The 15-fold lower affinity between OxyS and fhlA220 relative to fhlA53 may be attributed to this structural complexity in the leader sequence and presumably the need to break tertiary contacts to accommodate the bimolecular interaction.
At the treatment unit level, soil strength was increased in the Thin + Burn relative to Control, but this was attributed to increased strength in skid trails rather than in the non-skid portion of the stand.
Although the relative contribution of dermal naphthalene to urinary 2-naphthol levels decreased in model 2 relative to model 1, this may be attributed to the fact that breath naphthalene may actually reflect both dermal and inhalation exposure to JP-8.
In a study on the total organic carbon (TOC) of the sediments of the Niger and Benue Rivers and Niger Delta front (Wagner, Personal Communication 2004), it was observed that the river sediments had higher TOC relative to the Delta front; this was attributed to the upwelling process in the delta front (Tyson, Personal Communication 2004).
College students in 1966 rated themselves relative to peers on several personal attributes.
