Ratio metrics |
Notation: a / b
Applicability: a and b are metrics, not necessarily with the same unit.
Semantics: division
Resulting unit: Ratio
Note that the presence of both linear combinations and ratios make it possible to define any metric of the form
E ki.mi / E li.ni
in terms of elementary metrics mi, ni.
The metric tool provides a command for defining ratio metrics.
