3.2.3 Standard Output

The Relative Importance Facility currently produces a single
printed output: The Relative Importance Analysis Report.
This report contains a set of simple descriptive statistics
for the dependent elements and their associated values, as
well the relative importance weight assigned to each
independent individual element.  A sample of this report is
shown next.

 The Relative Importance Analysis report contains the
 following information:

 ELEMENT:      The name of the independent and dependent
               elements being analyzed.

 MIN.          The minimum value of the selected data element
 VALUE:        observed in the input data.

 MAX.          The maximum value of the selected data element
 VALUE:        observed in the input data.

 MEAN          The mean of the values of the selected data
 VALUE:        element observed in the input data.

 STD:          The standard deviation of the values of the
               selected data element observed in the input
               data.

 CV:           The coefficient of variance of the values of
               the selected data element observed in the input
               data.  This is a standard statistic and is a
               ratio of the mean and standard deviation
               measurements.

 REL.          The relative importance of this particular
 IMP.:         independent element as a function of the
               dependent element value.  Neugents technology
               computes this value internally using a mixture
               of both linear and nonlinear techniques and
               expresses this as a ratio or weight factor,
               relative to 100.
