In other words, you can't isolate one particular factor when trying to determine the complexity of something. You have to consider the problem as a whole—and this requires a lot more work. The ability to accurately measure complexity could have a wide range of practical applications, including...
1), and since the value of the cosine of a linear combination of vectors equals the the value of the cosine of any linear combination on the same vectors, the measure is independent from the scale
We showed how to compute this measure efficiently in linear time, making it useful in practice to estimate quickly the difficulty of alignment for new genomes without having to align reads to them first. We showed how the length-sensitive measures could provide additional information for choosing ...
Every measure needs its predecessor measures to be computed before itself can be retrieved. Thus, it inherits the computational complexity of its predecessors. Therefore it is the most important task to optimize the fundamental computations like the numbers of (undirected, weighted or directed) ...
How to measure time complexity? Generally speaking, we’ve seen that the fewer operations the algorithm has, the faster it will be. This looks like a good principle, but how can we apply it to reality? If we have an algorithm (whatever it is), how do we know its time complexity?
Mathematical models are established tools to assist in outbreak response. They help characterise complex patterns in disease spread, simulate control options to assist public health authorities in decision-making, and longer-term operational and financia
and the measure of Exaflop (a billion billion calculations a second) derives from the Linpack way of thinking. The first Exaflop system may be within reach within the next decade provided novel computing architectures are introduced to deal with power issues, which is the primary design constraint...
As such, clock time may provide a catch-all measure of effort. Indeed, we found that time spent on solving an instance was related to higher economic performance (P < 0.05, main effect of clock time, LMM with with random effects on intercept for individual participants; Supplementary ...

Assuming that the subject of each scientific publication can be identified by one or more classification entities, we address the problem of determining a
