For Accuracy we have terms and definitions in 12 topics. The topics are Car Engine, Cartographic, Computer Technology, Explosives, Import Cars, Learning, Marketing, Non-Profit Accountability, Photography, Supply Chain, Teacher Evaluation and Technology.

Accuracy (Car Engine)

Difference between the actual value and the measured or expected value.

Accuracy (Cartographic)

Degree of conformity with a standard. Accuracy relates to the quality of a result and is distinguished from precision which relates to the quality of the operation by which the result is obtained.

Accuracy (Computer Technology)

Accuracy is how close to the actual value you are. For example, if the number you are representing is 4 and you say it's 3, you are inaccurate by 1. See also Precision.

Accuracy (Explosives)

Closeness to true value; not to be used indiscriminately as a synonym for precision which latter means reproducibility of measurement.

Accuracy (Import Cars)

The conformity of an indicated value to a value accepted as a standard.

Accuracy (Learning)

The degree of freedom from error or the degree of conformity to a standard.

Accuracy (Marketing)

The degree of conformity of a sample statistic to the population.

Accuracy (Non-Profit Accountability)

The extent to which an evaluation is truthful or valid in what it says about a program, project, or material.

Accuracy (Photography)

The extent to which a machine vision system can correctly measure or obtain a true value of a feature. The closeness of the average value of the measurements to the actual dimension.

Accuracy (Supply Chain)

In quality management, the degree of freedom from error or the degree of conformity to a standard. Accuracy is different from precision. For example, four-significant-digit numbers are less precise than six-significant-digit numbers; however, a properly computed four-significant-digit number might be more accurate than an improperly computed six-significant-digit number.

Accuracy (Teacher Evaluation)

(1) the degree to which the data and information collected about the performance of a teacher are precise and correct measures of performance and are free from error. (2) one of four areas of standards in The Personnel Evaluation Standards: How To Assess Systems for Evaluating Educators by the Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation. This area has eight sets of standards: Defined Role, Work Environment, Documentation of Procedures, Valid Measurement, Reliable Measurement, Systematic Data Control, Bias Control, Monitoring Evaluation Systems. See Bias, Conflict of Interest, Credible, Error of Measurement, Feasibility, Propriety, Quality Check, Rater Effect, Utility, Verification.

Accuracy (Technology)

Accuracy is how close to the actual value you are. For example, if the number you are representing is 4 and you say it's 3, you are inaccurate by 1.
