Hazard ratioIn survival analysis, the hazard ratio (HR) is the ratio of the hazard rates corresponding to the conditions characterised by two distinct levels of a treatment variable of interest. For example, in a clinical study of a drug, the treated population may die at twice the rate per unit time of the control population. The hazard ratio would be 2, indicating higher hazard of death from the treatment. A scientific paper might utilise a Hazard Ratio (HR) to state something as follows.
Magnitude apparentevignette|Image de la nébuleuse de la Tarentule prise par le télescope VISTA de l'ESO. La nébuleuse a une magnitude apparente de 8 et est entourée d'objets célestes aux magnitudes diverses. La magnitude apparente est une mesure de l'irradiance d'un objet céleste observé depuis la Terre. Utilisée quasi exclusivement en astronomie, la magnitude correspondait historiquement à un classement des étoiles, les plus brillantes étant de « première magnitude », les deuxièmes et troisièmes magnitudes étant plus faibles, jusqu'à la sixième magnitude, étoiles à peine visibles à l'œil nu.
Time–frequency representationA time–frequency representation (TFR) is a view of a signal (taken to be a function of time) represented over both time and frequency. Time–frequency analysis means analysis into the time–frequency domain provided by a TFR. This is achieved by using a formulation often called "Time–Frequency Distribution", abbreviated as TFD. TFRs are often complex-valued fields over time and frequency, where the modulus of the field represents either amplitude or "energy density" (the concentration of the root mean square over time and frequency), and the argument of the field represents phase.
ConsiderationConsideration is a concept of English common law and is a necessity for simple contracts but not for special contracts (contracts by deed). The concept has been adopted by other common law jurisdictions. The court in Currie v Misa declared consideration to be a “Right, Interest, Profit, Benefit, or Forbearance, Detriment, Loss, Responsibility”. Thus, consideration is a promise of something of value given by a promissor in exchange for something of value given by a promisee; and typically the thing of value is goods, money, or an act.
