Daily Severity Rating-A numerical measure, based on the Fire Weather Index(FWI), specifically designed for averaging, either for any desired period of time(e. g. week, month, year) at a single fire weather station or spatially over a number of stations. The FWI itself, on the other hand, is not considered suitable for averaging, and should be used as its single daily value only. The DSR averaged over a whole fire season is termed the Seasonal Severity Rating(SSR) which can be used as an objective measure for comparing fire weather severity from one season to the next, or the fire climate of one region with another.

Subject field(s)
  • Stock Exchange
CONT

Other useful measures are the TSE total-return index, which is similar to the composite index except that it assumes reinvestment of dividends. To measure fixed-income performance, there's the ScotiaMcLeod Universe bond index, composed of Canadian bonds of varying maturities. If you invest equally in Canadian bonds and stocks, for example, you should be earning a return midway between the two. Over the past 10 years, with the TSE total-return index averaging a 7. 58% gain a year, and the bond index, assuming reinvestment, going up 13. 27%, that translates into an average annual return of 10. 4%.
