Pointwise mutual information. In statistics, probability theory and information theory, pointwise mutual information (PMI), [1] or point mutual information, is a measure of association. It compares the probability of two events occurring together to what this probability would be if the events were independent. [2]
ISM's Purchasing Managers Index 1948–2012. Purchasing managers' indexes (PMI) are economic indicators derived from monthly surveys of private sector companies.. The three principal producers of PMIs are S&P Global (from 2022 merger with IHS Markit), which produces PMIs for over 30 countries worldwide and developed the first service sector PMIs, and the Institute for Supply Management (ISM ...
Mutual information is a measure of the inherent dependence expressed in the joint distribution of and relative to the marginal distribution of and under the assumption of independence. Mutual information therefore measures dependence in the following sense: if and only if and are independent random variables.
Three-point estimation. The three-point estimation technique is used in management and information systems applications for the construction of an approximate probability distribution representing the outcome of future events, based on very limited information. While the distribution used for the approximation might be a normal distribution ...
Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of your weight relative to your height. For all men and women 20 years old and older, the BMI measurement is classified into one of four main weight categories ...
Post-mortem phenomena to estimate the time of death. The post-mortem interval (PMI) is the time that has elapsed since an individual's death. [1] When the time of death is not known, the interval may be estimated, and so an approximate time of death established. Postmortem interval estimations can range from hours, to days or even years ...
Cost-plus-incentive fee. A cost-plus-incentive fee (CPIF) contract is a cost-reimbursement contract which provides for an initially negotiated fee to be adjusted later by a formula based on the relationship of total allowable costs to total target costs. [1]
The public market equivalent (PME) is a collection of performance measures developed to assess private equity funds and to overcome the limitations of the internal rate of return and multiple on invested capital measurements. While the calculations differ, they all attempt to measure the return from deploying a private equity fund's cash flows ...
