Distance Measures Sample Clauses

Distance Measures. Two main distance measures were introduced in this report, namely Euclidean and Mahalanobis based measures. These measures were used for both classification purposes, and for creating decision boundaries within the height and width based models. There are numerous alternative distance measures for use in this type of situation. Some of the more famous include Manhattan distance, Chebyshev distance (computationally cheap but less accurate than Euclidean distance), Minkowski distance (of a set order), Quadratic distance (which is computationally very expensive) and Canberra distance (which is normally only used for non­negative values). Euclidean distance was introduced in this report based on its simplicity, and ease of use. Comparable techniques, such as Manhattan distance could have been used; however, measures such as these add complexity without adding any significant advantages to the measurement process (Manhattan distance is similar measure to Euclidean distance using absolute values). Beyond this, while Xxxxxxxxx distance takes the direct (Pythagorean) distance between two points (hypotenuse), Manhattan distance (sometimes known as city block distance) takes the distance of the other sides of the triangle, making it un­usable for model­based classification: It is also known that Xxxxxxxxx distance of order m = 1 is the same as using the Manhattan distance. If m= 2, the distance returned is the same as using Euclidean distance. As the order increases, the measure tends towards the Chebyshev result. From this, it can be seen that many of the popular distance measures are connected or similar. Therefore, use of the Euclidean measure is adequate for this project. One of the few measurement techniques that operate on a rather unique system is Mahalanobis distance. Based on covariance matrix values, it allows models to use the clustering information from class measurements, and thus provides a more applicable measurement and decision boundary creation system than many others provide for model based distance matching. This was the main reason for its inclusion within this project.

  • Performance Measure Grantee will adhere to the performance measures requirements documented in

  • Corrective Measures If the Participating Generator fails to meet or maintain the requirements set forth in this Agreement and/or the CAISO Tariff, the CAISO shall be permitted to take any of the measures, contained or referenced in the CAISO Tariff, which the CAISO deems to be necessary to correct the situation.

  • Usage Measurement Usage measurement for calls shall begin when answer supervision or equivalent Signaling System 7 (SS7) message is received from the terminating office and shall end at the time of call disconnect by the calling or called subscriber, whichever occurs first.

  • Performance Measurement The Uniform Guidance requires completion of OMB-approved standard information collection forms (the PPR). The form focuses on outcomes, as related to the Federal Award Performance Goals that awarding Federal agencies are required to detail in the Awards.

  • Ongoing Performance Measures The Department intends to use performance-reporting tools in order to measure the performance of Contractor(s). These tools will include the Contractor Performance Survey (Exhibit H), to be completed by Customers on a quarterly basis. Such measures will allow the Department to better track Vendor performance through the term of the Contract(s) and ensure that Contractor(s) consistently provide quality services to the State and its Customers. The Department reserves the right to modify the Contractor Performance Survey document and introduce additional performance-reporting tools as they are developed, including online tools (e.g. tools within MFMP or on the Department's website).

  • Interim Measures Notwithstanding any requirements for alternative dispute resolution procedures as set forth in Articles 18(B), any party to the Dispute may apply to a court for interim measures (i) prior to the constitution of the arbitral tribunal (and thereafter as necessary to enforce the arbitral tribunal’s rulings); or (ii) in the absence of the jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal to rule on interim measures in a given jurisdiction. The Parties agree that seeking and obtaining such interim measures shall not waive the right to arbitration. The arbitrators (or in an emergency the presiding arbitrator acting alone in the event one or more of the other arbitrators is unable to be involved in a timely fashion) may grant interim measures including injunctions, attachments and conservation orders in appropriate circumstances, which measures may be immediately enforced by court order. Hearings on requests for interim measures may be held in person, by telephone, by video conference or by other means that permit the parties to the Dispute to present evidence and arguments.

  • Temperature Measurement Temperature will be measured by the nearest automatic Melbourne Bureau of Meteorology Monitoring Station for example (but not limited to): Melbourne, Moorabbin, Dunns Hill, Melbourne Airport, Frankston, and Point Xxxxxx. At the commencement of each project, the onsite management and employee representatives shall agree which is to be the applicable automatic weather monitoring station.

  • Non-tariff Measures 1. A Party shall not adopt or maintain any non-tariff measures on the importation of any good of the other Party or on the exportation of any good destined for the territory of the other Party except in accordance with its WTO rights and obligations or in accordance with other provisions of this Agreement. 2. Each Party shall ensure its non-tariff measures permitted in paragraph 1 are not prepared, adopted or applied with a view to, or with the effect of, creating unnecessary obstacles to trade between the Parties.
