CRITERION MEASURE [13 records]

Record 1 2015-04-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Saving and Consumption
CONT

The algebraic sum of all individuals... [price compensating variations] regarded as consumers and suppliers of factors, is therefore approximately represented by the area between the demand curve and the corrected supply curve. Crude as this area is as an index of net gain in welfare arising from the introduction of X when all other goods are produced at constant costs, we are required by the Samuelson criterion to measure this social surplus for all conceivable welfare distributions.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Épargne et consommation
CONT

Le surplus collectif s'obtient par la sommation des surplus partiels: [surplus des consommateurs et surplus des producteurs.] [...] si l'on admet l'hypothèse de répartition optimale des revenus et si l'on ne considère que les effets marchands de la décision supposée marginale (modification des quantités de biens et services produits et consommés), le surplus collectif, défini comme variation d'une fonction d'utilité collective est égal au supplément de biens et services disponibles sur le marché [...]

Record 4 2002-07-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Optics
  • Measuring Instruments (Engineering)
  • Navigation Instruments
OBS

On the left, a standard measure of gyro sensitivity is used : the factor by which the Earth rotation effect is greater than that from quantum(photon) noise over one hour. This is a big factor(the graph is coloured relatively "hot"), and on that basis the results we obtained at Cashmere from the C-II gyro indicate that on this criterion it is more sensitive than all others, such a reported atomic gyros. Note that the perimeter is important, and the mirror finesse also, though less so.

Key term(s)
  • gyroscope perimeter
  • perimeter of the gyro

French

Domaine(s)
  • Optique
  • Instruments de mesure (Ingénierie)
  • Instruments de navigation
CONT

La Sagem intègre dans ses systèmes de guidage et de navigation trois types de gyrolaser de classe inertielle, de périmètre 8, 16 et 32 cm. Les appareils fournissent directement une information d'angle sous forme d'incréments. L'incrément d'angle est fonction de la longueur d'onde optique et du périmètre du gyroscope.

Subject field(s)
  • Examinations and Competitions (Education)

Concurrent validity might be obtained by administering concurrent measures of academic ability and achievement, by determining the relationship between a new test and one generally accepted as valid, or by determining the relationship between scores on a test and a less objective criterion measure.

Key term(s)

The actual behaviour registered by the student at the end of the training program. The difference between this and the criterion behaviour is a measure of the effectiveness of the training program.

Key term(s)
  • terminal behavior

French

Domaine(s)
  • Perfectionnement et formation du personnel
  • Pédagogie (Généralités)
DEF

Comportement de l'élève à la fin du programme de formation. La différence entre ce comportement et le comportement recherché constitue une mesure de l'efficacité du programme de formation.

Record 9 1999-03-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Examinations and Competitions (Education)
  • Training of Personnel
DEF

A test, in written or practical form, designed to measure terminal behaviour and thereby discover to what degree the student/trainee demonstrates the criterion behaviour. It can also be given as a pre-test to identify individuals who need the training, and/or a post-test to measure the effectiveness of the program by comparing the pre-test and post-test scores.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Docimologie
  • Perfectionnement et formation du personnel
DEF

Épreuve écrite ou pratique destinée à évaluer le comportement final et, ainsi, à découvrir dans quelle mesure l'élève ou le stagiaire se conforme au comportement recherché. Elle peut également servir d'épreuve préliminaire pour déceler ceux qui ont besoin de formation et/ou d'épreuve terminale pour évaluer l'efficacité du programme par comparaison des notes des deux épreuves.

Subject field(s)
  • Operating Systems (Software)
CONT

The NIST Center for Computing and Applied Mathematics(CCAM), working under sponsorship of the AMRF, has developed AutoMan, a software package which allows investors to include non-financial and even non-quantitative criteria in their analysis.... AutoMan uses four steps to measure the impact of potential investments : define the decision model by identifying impact criteria; establish weights for the categories and for the criteria through pairwise comparisons; rate investment alternatives with respect to each criterion; and compute a weighted average rating for each investment alternative.
