We examine the influence of optimality measures on the benchmarking process, and show that scaling requirements lead to a convergence test for nonlinearly constrained solvers that uses a mixture of absolute and relative error measures. We show that this convergence test is well behaved at any point where the constraints satisfy the Mangasarian-Fromovitz constraint qualification and also avoids ...

Performance measurement and performance management are integral components of the IFCE. This primer for policymakers and practitioners, Global Measures of Court Performance (Global Measures), describes eleven focused, clear, and actionable core court perfo...
