Measurement

Statistics and Data Mining are powerful tools for well-measured data.

In Quality Study , there are many failure because of the badly-measured data.

Kinds of Indexes

Indexes are classified to "Physical index", "Sensuous index", "Psychological index" and "Calculated index". I give these names here to call. (I do not know terms for these ideas.)
