The term "commodity flow method" refers to the compilation of goods and services accounts for detailed product groups. In a commodity flow, goods and services are traced from different sources of supply to different categories of use. The supply and use table brings together the detailed goods and services accounts in the format of matrices with the product groups in the rows and different categories and components of supply and use in the columns. The supply and use table is a basic input-output table in the sense that it contains the same classifications in the rows and columns and is therefore symmetrical.

CONT

Les investissements en biens d'équipement informatique et en biens d'équipement de communication (tout comme les investissements en biens d'équipement en général) sont évalués dans le cadre de la comptabilité nationale (CN) grâce à la méthode de calcul par les flux (Commodity Flow Method). Cette dernière consiste d'une part à évaluer les ressources de biens d'équipement sur le territoire économique d'une nation (production et importation) et de l'autre les emplois de biens correspondants à l'exception de la formation brute de capital fixe (exportations, variation de stocks et consommation). Le solde entre les ressources et les emplois correspond de fait aux investissements en biens d'équipement.

DEF

The ratio of a change in output to a change in the input intended to be measured.

CONT

Angular rate gyro accuracy is characterized by two parameters: scale factor and drift. The scale factor describes the capability of the gyro to accurately sense angular velocity at different angular rates. This value is used to convert the voltage output from the gyro into an angular rate. System imperfections can cause small variations in the scale factor. These variations appear as a factor at the output of the gyro. Gyro drift characterizes the ability of the gyro to reference all rate measurements to the nominal zero point.

CONT

The scale factor is generally evaluated as the slope of the straight line that can be fitted by the method of the least squares to input-output data... For some sensors the scale factor may be expressed as a reciprocal.

DEF

Rapport entre une modification à la sortie par rapport à une modification à l'entrée à mesurer.

CONT

Le facteur d'échelle est généralement évalué comme la pente de la ligne droite qui peut être ajustée par la méthode des carrés minimaux appliquée aux données d'entrée-sortie obtenues en faisant varier l'entrée de façon cyclique sur la gamme d'entrée.
