The precision of the arithmetic mean, geometric mean and percentiles for citation data: An experimental simulation modelling approach
When comparing the citation impact of nations, departments or other groups of researchers within individual fields, three approaches have been proposed: arithmetic means, geometric means, and percentage in the top X%. This article compares the precision of these statistics using 97 trillion experimentally simulated citation counts from 6875 sets of different parameters (although all having the ...
متن کاملGeneralizing the Arithmetic Geometric Mean
The paper discusses the asymptotic behavior of generalizations of the Gauss’s arithmetic-geometric mean, associated with the names Meissel (1875) and Borchardt (1876). The "hapless computer experiment" in the title refers to the fact that the author at an earlier stage thought that one had genuine asymptotic formulae but it is now shown that in general "fluctuations" are present. However, no ve...
متن کاملAn Arithmetic and Geometric Mean Invariant
A positive real interval, [a, b] can be partitioned into sub-intervals such that sub-interval widths divided by sub-interval ”‘average”’ values remains constant. That both Arithmetic Mean and Geometric Mean ”‘average”’ values produce constant ratios for the same log scale is the stated invariance proved in this short note. The continuous analog is briefly considered and shown to have similar pr...
متن کاملthe use of appropriate madm model for ranking the vendors of mci equipments using fuzzy approach
abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...
