Definition

The margin for the match rate and the threshold value for attributes define the match rate interval.

Use

Define a percentage threshold value. Only materials with a match rate greater than or the same as this value will be proposed by the system as references.

Dependencies

The threshold value for attributes defines how large the match rate (concurrence) of a material with a comparison material must be with regard to defined material attributes so that the system proposes the material as a reference.

  • The upper limit of the match rate interval is defined by the match rate of the material that has the largest concurrence of all materials included in a calculation as a reference material.
  • The lower limit of the match rate interval is calculated by subtracting the upper limit from the margin for the match rate.

In addition, the lower and upper limit of the match rate interval must be greater than or the same as the threshold value for attributes.

  • If the threshold value is greater than the lower limit for the match rate interval, the system increases the lower limit of the match rate interval to meet the threshold value.
  • If the threshold value is greater than the upper limit of the match rate interval, the system cancels the calculation of suitable references. All the materials that were suitable so far are now unsuitable due to the threshold value.

The materials whose match rates lie within the match rate interval are used by the system as references.

Example

  • A threshold value of 0 (blank) has been defined. The threshold value does not have any limiting effect. The system takes all materials as a reference whose match rates are less than or the same as the upper limit and greater than or the same as the lower limit of the match rate interval.
  • The margin for the match rate has the value 0 (blank). The upper and lower limit of the match rate interval have thus the same value. If, in addition, the threshold value is less than the upper limit of the match rate interval, the system uses only those materials as references that have the highest match rate.
