    Continuing our example, let's say they make the following judgments about all the comparisons of criteria, entering them into the software as numbers gotten from the table: as stated, cost is moderately important (3) over safety; also, cost is very strongly important (7) over style, and is moderately important (3) over capacity.

  3. Optimality criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimality_criterion

    In statistics, an optimality criterion [1] provides a measure of the fit of the data to a given hypothesis, to aid in model selection.A model is designated as the "best" of the candidate models if it gives the best value of an objective function measuring the degree of satisfaction of the criterion used to evaluate the alternative hypotheses.

  4. Highest and best use - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highest_and_best_use

    If the value of the commercial lot as vacant in "House B" exceeds the value of house as a residence as improved plus demolition costs, the overall highest and best use of this property would be the as vacant value of the commercial lot. For example, assume that "House B" has a value as a house of $200,000, and a site value as a commercial lot ...

    In this example a company should prefer product B's risk and payoffs under realistic risk preference coefficients. Multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) or multiple-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) is a sub-discipline of operations research that explicitly evaluates multiple conflicting criteria in decision making (both in daily life and in settings such as business, government and medicine).

    However, in Microsoft Excel, subroutines can write values or text found within the subroutine directly to the spreadsheet. The figure shows the Visual Basic code for a subroutine that reads each member of the named column variable x , calculates its square, and writes this value into the corresponding element of named column variable y .

  7. Sample maximum and minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_maximum_and_minimum

    The sample maximum and minimum are the least robust statistics: they are maximally sensitive to outliers.. This can either be an advantage or a drawback: if extreme values are real (not measurement errors), and of real consequence, as in applications of extreme value theory such as building dikes or financial loss, then outliers (as reflected in sample extrema) are important.

  8. Maximum and minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_and_minimum

    For example, x ∗ is a strict global maximum point if for all x in X with x ≠ x ∗, we have f(x ∗) > f(x), and x ∗ is a strict local maximum point if there exists some ε > 0 such that, for all x in X within distance ε of x ∗ with x ≠ x ∗, we have f(x ∗) > f(x). Note that a point is a strict global maximum point if and only if ...

    This might include, for example: Standardized mission profile with specific fixed duration mission phases; Sources for failure rate and failure mode data; Fault detection coverage that system built-in test will realize; Whether the analysis will be functional or piece-part; Criteria to be considered (mission abort, safety, maintenance, etc.)
