A rate is a rate is a rate? (with apologies to Gertrude Stein)
International Journal of Production Research, 1977SUMMARY In the literature on reliability the term failure rate is given to four different concepts. To remedy some of the confusion thereby engendered the differences in meaning and applicability of the four concepts are discussed.

Asymptotic Rate versus Design Rate
2007 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory, 2007The rate of a code is one of its most important parameters. We consider sparse graph codes and ask whether the rate of a random element of an ensemble is typically close to the design rate of the ensemble. For regular LDPC ensembles this question was answered in the affirmative in (Miller and Cohen, 2003).

FOR what purpose do the banks use their powers to influence the interest rates? In reality policy is imposed upon them by monetary authorities, but we are conducting the argument on the assumption that they are operating according to certain rules without specifying the manner in which they are compelled to do so ...

Rating the ratings: Assessing the psychometric quality of rating data.
Psychological Bulletin, 1980Reviews research that is concerned with evaluating the psychometric qualities of data in the form of ratings (rating errors) and that has been plagued with conceptual and operational confusion and inconsistency. Following a brief historical survey, inconsistencies in definitions, quantifications, and methodologies are documented in a review of more ...

Rating the Ratings: The Acceptability of International Rating Methodologies
2006We explore the practices of international rating agencies and develop a framework based on the auditor independence model to understand the various rating agency methodologies. Rating agencies methodologies are classified as solicited, unsolicited or co-operative depending upon: (1) whether the rating has been requested; (2) whether the rating agency ...

Spot Rates, Forward Rates, and the Interest-Rate Differentials: Comment
Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, 1973In a recent article, John Pippenger developed a theory of interest rate arbitrage within a simple Fisherian framework.1 Among the implications he derived from this approach to international finance was the contention that, "If the interest rate arbitrage theory is developed in a Fisherian context, then the major determinant of both the forward premium ...

Rating the Rating Agencies [PDF]
, 2000 In this study, we begin by assessing the ability of sovereign credit ratings to anticipate crises. In addition, given the wave of sovereign credit ratings downgrades that have followed the crises in Asia, we investigate formally the extent to which credit ratings are reactive.

This chapter describes the basic quantities and concepts of deterministic kinetics. Concentration changes and the rate of concentration change are defined. The rate equation is introduced as a mathematical function giving the rates of concentration change as a function of concentrations.

The Effects of Specific Respiratory Rates on Heart Rate and Heart Rate Variability
Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, 2003In this study respiratory rates of 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 breaths per minute were employed to investigate the effects of these rates on heart rate variability (HRV). Data were collected 16 times at each respiratory rate on 3 female volunteers, and 12 times on 2 female volunteers.

The sedimentation rate measures the rate of fall of erythrocytes in the plasma. The rate is accelerated when alterations in plasma protein fractions cause rouleau formation or aggregation of red blood cells due to change in physicochemical properties of plasma and erythrocyte surfaces.
