The functional FE, however, is an unbiased measure for all considered types of functions.
As you can see in the picture, I think it is possible to identify at least three types of functions.
"These things are table stakes as they compete with the larger suites which already have these types of functions," she says.
In particular, novel fuzzy metrics, by means of fuzzy and classical metrics and certain special types of functions, are introduced.
These types of functions have recently been used in the study of dimension-free linear system engineering problems.
"We're not a bank, but we can serve a lot of types of functions you would see someone go into a bank for".
The Cassiopeia even comes with a backup battery installed, and the company says that the EM-500 can get up to 6 hours of battery life between charges, but that amount will vary with the types of functions used and the screen brightness.
Whitesides believes that the theorists are still far from realizing that future because it's still unclear whether the types of functions being developed by Cohn can be used to make self-assembling structures at all, or whether some other theoretical approach will turn out to be more useful.
These types of functions have recently been used in the study of dimension-free linear system engineering problems (Helton et al. (2009) [10], de Oliviera et al. (2009) [8]).
For many of these methods, however, it is not clear what trade-offs in terms of accuracy, precision, and computational effort can be expected, nor for which types of functions they are most suited.
Or, hey, why not even create some industry standard icons representing particular types of functions?
