]Analysis: 1. level
COC-S online - standard version
Preconditions for using COC-S:
- There is a double OAM.
- During its development, the determination of vectors were inevitable in concern of the upper matrix-half.
- For the lower half of the matrix, it seemed to be necessary to handle the prices and/or the attribute proportions (cf. danger of subjectivity).
- To add the attribute proportions you only need to specify an upper threshold per attribute, that can have a sum more than 100(%) in order to loosen up the restrictions, and these positive, integer numbers are need to be included in the first row of the second half of the double matrix.
- From the second row of the second half of the double matrix the distance of two neighbored stairs can be specified with a positive, integer number, with the same unit as the Y's.
- The Y values are integer numbers, (with or without shift) and are non-negative.
- The Y do not have to be zero, even if any of the attributes are missing (= additive effect).
- Columns that have the same effect were connected in order to speed up the execution (cf. repetitive columns lose their effect during the execution).
- The first rows of stairs might mean the model's (genetic) potential.
- Ceteris paribus relations are monotone, and
- they allow Liebig-functions.
Areas of application:
- Primarily benchmarking (price/ or wage/performance-analyses, farm comparison, regional comparison)
- Not advised: when making forecasts or production functions
