Parents

• is_a: MeasurementValue - A measurement value is a quantitative description that reflects the magnitude of some attribute.

Children

• CentralityMeasure - A central tendency measure is a central value or a typical value for a probability distribution.
• DimensionalQuantity - A dimensional quantity is a quantity that has an associated unit.
• DimensionlessQuantity - A dimensionless quantity is a quantity that has no associated unit.
• Likelihood - Likelihood is the hypothetical probability that an event that has already occurred would yield a specific outcome.
• MaximalValue - A maximal value is largest value of an attribute for the entities in the defined set.
• MinimalValue - A minimal value is smallest value of an attribute for the entities in the defined set.
• StandardDeviation - A standard deviation (represented by the symbol σ) is the quantity of variation from the average (mean, or expected value).
• Sum - A sum is the result of adding a set of values together.
• UncertaintyValue - The uncertainty value (margin of error) of a measurement is a range of values likely to enclose the true value.
• UnitOfMeasurement - A unit of measurement is a definite magnitude of a physical quantity, defined and adopted by convention and/or by law, that is used as a standard for measurement of the same physical quantity.
