Record 2 2015-02-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Statistical Methods
  • Government Contracts
CONT

ITB [industrial and technological benefits] commitments, specific transactions, and international strategies will be evaluated and given a score, thereby becoming a weighted factor in determining the outcome of procurements.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Méthodes statistiques
  • Marchés publics
CONT

Les engagements en retombées industrielles et technologiques, les transactions spécifiques et les stratégies internationales seront évalués et notés, et deviendront ainsi un facteur pondéré à prendre en compte dans la détermination des résultats des processus d’approvisionnement.

Record 3 2009-10-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radiation Protection
  • Protection of Life
CONT

Multiplication of equivalent dose to each organ/tissue by the tissue weighting factor(wT) to represent the relative probability(risk) that unit equivalent dose to that organ will lead to a health effect; these weighted organ doses are summed to obtain the effective dose(sievert).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radioprotection
  • Sécurité des personnes
CONT

Le sievert de dose efficace est [...] une unité de risque à ne pas confondre avec le sievert de dose équivalente.

Record 4 2009-10-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radiation Protection
  • Protection of Life
  • Nuclear Waste Materials
DEF

The sum of the weighted equivalent doses received by the organs and tissues of the body, where the weighted equivalent dose is the equivalent dose to an organ or tissue of the body multiplied by the appropriate weighting factor...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radioprotection
  • Sécurité des personnes
  • Déchets nucléaires
CONT

La radioactivité ne génère pas à proprement parler de nuisances puisqu'elle est indétectable par nos sens. Les seules nuisances (au sens de désagrément) que peuvent faire encourir les matières radioactives abandonnées sans précautions spéciales, ou au contraire de façon réfléchie et selon des procédures écrites réglementaires, sont les nuisances socio-économiques. En revanche, leur nocivité est liée aux doses qu'elles peuvent provoquer par irradiation externe ou par ingestion (doses équivalentes efficaces).

Record 5 2004-08-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Statistics
  • Special-Language Phraseology
CONT

Factor scores... need to be weighted. Otherwise, the variables which have high loadings on less important factors will have the same impact in the cluster analysis as variables which load highly on important factors.

CONT

The PCA [principal component analysis] was applied to the 240 weather variables for all days within the winter season from 1958/59 to 2000/2001 for 15 Canadian and 12 U.S. stations, producing an 18-component solution that explains 91% of the total variance in the original dataset. The remainder of the components with eigenvalues less than one were discarded. The thermal and moisture variables, air temperature and dew point temperature, load highly on Component 1, explaining over 36% of the total variance.

OBS

See also the record for "component loading" for more information on the concept of statistical loading.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Statistique
  • Phraséologie des langues de spécialité
CONT

L'utilisation de la corrélation ou de la régression [...] informe [...] du comportement de deux ou plus variables entre elles. [...] Seront retenues les variables qui montrent un lien suffisant avec la variable dépendante. (Par exemple celles qui ont un fort coefficient de corrélation ou une signification statistique convenable.)

OBS

Dans les analyses en composantes principales on parle des «coordonnées», du «poids» ou des «coefficients» des variables pour rendre la notion de «loading». Voir la fiche «component loading» pour obtenir plus de renseignements sur cette notion.

Record 6 1997-03-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Financial Accounting
CONT

Annual capital cost allocation is the theoretical dollar amount required to maintain the existing Transport Canada Aviation asset base. It is an amount determined as a percentage of the current asset base replacement value. The percentage, called the composite reinvestment factor rate, represents the average weighted depreciation rate of all Transport Canada Aviation fixed assets.

Record 7 1992-09-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Personnel and Job Evaluation
  • Public Service
DEF

At the Public Service of Canada, a quantitative method of evaluating jobs in which key tasks are described in terms of specific factors which are then assigned weights appropriate to their relative importance.

OBS

To evaluate a job, the specified factors present in it are compared with the weighted factors of the key jobs. The total of the factor values assigned thus determines the worth of the whole job.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Évaluation du personnel et des emplois
  • Fonction publique
DEF

Méthode d'évaluation quantitative des postes qui consiste à comparer les facteurs d'un poste avec une série de facteurs analogues pris dans des emplois-repères.

Record 8 1979-11-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radiobiology
CONT

It [the genetically significant dose] is therefore equivalent to the individual gonad dose weighted by the probability of the individual person procreating a child after the irradiation has occurred. In practice this weighting is done by multiplying the gonad dose by a "child expectancy factor", which depends on the sex and age of the individual and the birth statistics of the relevant population.
