MPAA film rating system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ratings criteria is intended to reflect changing norms and compromises between the diverse needs and rights of various interests in a large and complex modern society. Moreover, he argues that the rating system is geared toward looking at trivial aspects of the movie (such as the number of times a profane word is used) rather than at the general theme of the movie (for example, if the movie realistically depicts the consequences of sex and violence). Therefore, an evaluation of ratings criteria must specify what year or approximate period of time is being referred to, when modeling the standards relevant to each film classification. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/MPAA_film_rating_system   (4697 words)

Rating Tables and Curves Rating curves usually have a break point, which is around the stage at which the river spreads out of it's banks, or it could be at a lower stage if the river bed cross section changes dramatically. A rating table or curve is a relationship between stage and discharge at a cross section of a river. Because of this, when using a rating curve, it is good to keep in mind that the discharge read from the curve is the most likely value, but it could be a little different from the measured value. www.nws.noaa.gov /om/hod/SHManual/SHMan040_rating.htm   (804 words)

Statement of Moody's Investors Service on Credit Rating Agencies While rating agencies have rightly been the subject of market critique and discussion, the various groups of market participants expressing views have different and potentially rivaling needs and goals, some of which are not primarily aligned with market efficiency or transparency or investor protection.

Rating the Net A ratings service may rate a document along multiple dimensions: that is, instead of merely rating the document as "adult" or "child-safe," it can give it separate ratings for (say) violence, sex, nudity, and adult language. To the extent that ratings system designers seek to allow evaluators to consider more factors, in a more situationally specific manner, to capture the essence of each site, they will ensure inconsistency and hidden value choices as the system is applied.
