Average treatment effect. The average treatment effect ( ATE) is a measure used to compare treatments (or interventions) in randomized experiments, evaluation of policy interventions, and medical trials. The ATE measures the difference in mean (average) outcomes between units assigned to the treatment and units assigned to the control.
The Old Bell Labs Holmdel Complex, located about 20 miles south of New York City, in New Jersey. Bell's Holmdel research and development lab, a 1,900,000-square-foot (180,000 m 2) structure set on 473 acres (191 ha), was closed in 2007. The mirrored-glass building was designed by Eero Saarinen.
Value at risk. The 5% Value at Risk of a hypothetical profit-and-loss probability density function. Value at risk ( VaR) is a measure of the risk of loss of investment/Capital. It estimates how much a set of investments might lose (with a given probability), given normal market conditions, in a set time period such as a day.
Hydroxyl value. In analytical chemistry, the hydroxyl value is defined as the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide (KOH) required to neutralize the acetic acid taken up on acetylation of one gram of a chemical substance that contains free hydroxyl groups. The analytical method used to determine hydroxyl value traditionally involves ...
Antenna gain-to-noise-temperature ( G/T) is a figure of merit in the characterization of antenna performance, where G is the antenna gain in decibels at the receive frequency, and T is the equivalent noise temperature of the receiving system in kelvins. The receiving system noise temperature is the summation of the antenna noise temperature and ...
Time value of money. The present value of $1,000, 100 years into the future. Curves represent constant discount rates of 2%, 3%, 5%, and 7%. The time value of money is the widely accepted conjecture that there is greater benefit to receiving a sum of money now rather than an identical sum later. It may be seen as an implication of the later ...
Value measuring methodology ( VMM) is a tool that helps financial planners balance both tangible and intangible values when making investment decisions, and monitor benefits. Formal methods to calculate the Return on investment (ROI) have been widely understood and used for a long time, but there was no easy and widely known way to provide a ...
Saponification value or saponification number ( SV or SN) represents the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide (KOH) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH) required to saponify one gram of fat under the conditions specified. [1] [2] [3] It is a measure of the average molecular weight (or chain length) of all the fatty acids present in the sample in ...
