Sentence examples for technical weight from inspiring English sources
My pictures now have a technical weight, and so, a palpable presence that I feel more comfortable with.
Technical weights were multiplied by the individual-tree breeding values, as calculated by Eq. 1.
To estimate the impact of differing technical weights on multiple traits a selection index model was used.
b is the column vector of index weights 1, 2…n; P is the phenotypic variance-covariance matrix; G is the genotypic variance-covariance matrix; b is the column vector of technical weights.
The weights applied to the model were altered for each trait to achieve the desired, or close to the desired, gain for the suite of traits under selection (i.e., they are considered technical weights).
A number of selection scenarios were investigated by altering the set of technical weights used, in order to illustrate the trade-offs in gain between the traits (Figures 1, 2 and 3).
As such, the gain comparisons among the various scenarios using the technical weights from the general Smith-Hazel index (which is operating as a mass selection index) do not directly apply when applying the same weights to the tree breeding values from mixed-model analysis.
An index model was constructed in Microsoft Excel software based on the traditional 'Smith-Hazel' index model (Cotterill and Dean [1990]) to explore the dynamics of selecting for the KTs and NKTs when different technical weights (level of importance) were imposed.
While the desired technical weights, derived from the traditional mass-selection index approach, cannot be directly applied to multivariate BLUP breeding values (and yield the same levels of genetic gains) they do provide an important 'starting point' for further sensitivity evaluations.
It has been the main cause of the technical and weight problems that have bedevilled the programme.
The IPR is developed by determining the average of all the findings, including organizational and technical, with weighting applied based on the severity of the findings.
