Intent scale translation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Intent scale translation is a mathematical technique used by marketers to convert stated purchase intentions into purchase probabilities, that is, into an estimate of actual buying behaviour. If a survey respondent were to choose a response of “definitely” and an intent probability of.99 was assigned to that category, then the actual probability of purchase could be read off the vertical axis. The translation function gives a value of about.8, indicating the specifiers of the function feel that not all people that claim they definitely intend to purchase will actually purchase. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Intent_scale_translation   (261 words)

A Lesson on the Arbitrary Nature of Thermometer Scales The eventual acceptance of the centigrade scale as a scientific standard was seen as a logical choice because it was consistent with the decimal based counting system that had been adopted by society (Middleton, 1977). The third fixed point on Fahrenheit’s scale was obtained by placing the thermometer in the mouth or under the armpit of a healthy man. Roemer had done something similar and had placed the value of "blood heat" at 22.5 degrees (Cohen, 1944). The intent of this lesson, therefore, is to create an exercise that responds to these concerns by helping students understand why one scale can be preferred over another in the context of science. www.x98ruhf.net /temperature_lesson.htm   (4740 words)

Table of Contents Map scale or representative fraction, the metric for scale in the traditional cartographic world, has no well-defined meaning in a digital world of seamless perspectives in which the user is free to zoom in or out at will. Scale is a concept of relative magnitude, and looked at in these ways, spaces is scaled relative to the human body -- humans are the measure of space. In addition, the appropriate scale across the data plane may vary, the resolution of the attributes at the campfire may be very high while the resolution of the village may be lower. www.ncgia.ucsb.edu /varenius/scale/SCALE_rpt.html   (21149 words)

Logit analysis in marketing - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography It attempts to determine the intensity or magnitude of customers' purchase intentions and translates that into a measure of actual buying behaviour. This is the most useful of the purchase intention/rating translations because explicit measures of confidence level and statistical significance can be calculated. Other purchase intention/rating translations include the preference-rank translation and the intent scale translation. www.arikah.net /encyclopedia/Logit_analysis   (234 words)

org.opengis.layer (GeoAPI 2.1 alpha)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) The minimum scale denominator and maximum scale denominator elements define the range of scales for which it is appropriate to generate a map of a layer. Upon receiving a request for a map that is not within the scale denominator range, the server may return a blank map, or may return a portrayal of the layer that is crowded with features or otherwise poorly suited for display; the server shall not respond with a service exception. Because the scale denominators used in Layer metadata will often be "round" numbers, such as 250000, if a calculation of the current scale results in a value of 249999.99999999, it should be considered to match 250000. geoapi.sourceforge.net /snapshot/javadoc/org/opengis/layer/package-summary.html   (734 words)

Originalism The term "originalism" refers to two distinctly different ideas: one version, known as original intent, is the view that the interpretation of a written constitution is (or should be) consistent with what it was originally intended to mean by those who drafted and/or ratified it. The second version, known as original meaning, or textualism, is the view that the text of the Constitution should be based on how a reasonable person would have understood the language of that constitution at the time of ratification. The key to originalism is that interpretive decisions by Judges should be made based on facts about the document when it was originally written or ratified, with minimal adjustments for the time or context in which it is interpreted. www.kiwipedia.com /en/original-intent.html   (309 words)

Gamut Mapping for Electronic Devices Since translation is an addition operation and scaling and rotation are multiplication operation, all the transformation operations are done in homogenous space so that they can be combined in on single matrix operation [[vii]]. The second method is scaling the colour data by the size of its gamut grey axis. After both gamuts are translated to origin and they are scaled so that their grey axes are of unit one, input gamut is rotated in 3D so that its grey axis falls on top of output gamut’s grey axis. www.cs.sfu.ca /~bbastani/personal/courses/820/Project   (4813 words)

[wms-dev] WMS 1.2.0, layer scales and GetFeatureInfo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) The section states the following: "intent of scale denominators is not the translation between 'actual' and 'standard' scales always be completely accurate. Rather, the intent is to reduce the amount of clutter or crowding of features protrayed on the map." [There's a typo there for "portrayed", BTW.] I think that there would be value in adding an explicit clarification to the spec stating whether these elements should restrict GetFeatureInfo requests. Getting back to first principles, the underlying question here is whether GetFeatureInfo is understood as a request for information about features drawn on a map (defined by the GetMap request) or a request for information on geospatial features, with the map image just helping to define where the features are located. lists.eogeo.org /pipermail/wms-dev/2003-November/000434.html   (260 words)

[udig-devel] Re: How to get the display properties 20/21): 7.2.4.6.9 Scale denominators [...] "Because maps from a Web Map Service may be viewed on arbitrary displays rather than on paper, the values used are actually the scale denominators relative to a common display pixel size. The intent of scale denominators is not the translation between “actual” and “standard” scales always be completely accurate." [...] For the purposes of this International Standard, the common pixel size is defined to be 0.28mm × 0.28mm (millimetres). Generally formulated: Images are a really bad means of transportation for maps if precision in scale and styling matters and if the map is to be displayed, not printed. lists.refractions.net /pipermail/udig-devel/2005-April/001323.html   (497 words)

Lifeline, Switzerland - a broad based Christian Counselling Ministry - Our Newsletter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) The opening chapters of Genesis bring us a wonderful insight into God’s intent for us; to live in harmonious relationship with Him, with each other, with the whole of creation, without fear, shame, rejection or other destructive feelings or behaviours. We need therefore to go back and to understand what was God’s detailed intent for us and use these elements as a reference against which we can judge our brokenness. We have worked on several small-scale translation, publishing and distribution projects, and can now offer a selection of resources in French focussing on the needs and questions of Christians and churches confronting the issue of AIDS. www.minlife.com /june2003.htm   (3452 words)

MI Calibration Plan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) The intent of this Plan is to define a consistent method to test and calibrate the Pancam instrument and to define or reference the methods and types of tests used to validate the radiometric, geometric, thermal, optical, and mechanical performance against the functional requirements outlined in the MER Project Requirements Documents described below. The image scale can be calculated by knowing the exact distance from the lens to the CCD and the size of a single pixel. An alternate method for determining scale is to image a target of precisely known dimensions at two distances (d1 and d2) The difference between these positions (d2-d1) must be known to a high degree of accuracy. wufs.wustl.edu /geodata/mer2-m-mi-2-edr-sci-v1/mer2mi_0xxx/calib/mi_calib.htm   (7244 words)

EuroPain Newsletter January - June 1994   (Site not responding.

The research protocol had not been accepted and the declaration of intent for a concerted action submitted to the EC Biomed and Health Research Committee had been rejected. It is important for variations between national centers involved in clinical trials of pain alleviating procedures to be identified and corrected, as the validity of clinical results must be reproduced and verified on a transnational basis. www.europain.org /Newsletters/jan-jun-94.html   (3865 words)
