Defines a translation to be applied to an independent value before a table lookup/interpolation is performed. The translation will be applied to all independent value less than this value. The value to be applied to the independent value. A standard equation of the form: y = a(x+b)**c + d where y = the dependent variable, x = the independent variable, a = multiplier, b = 1st additive, c = power, and d = 2nd additive. The standard equation multiplier value (a). The standard equation first additive value (b). The standard equation power value (c). The standard equation second additive value (d). One term of a polynomial equation. The axix intercept value for a polynimial equation term. The multiplier value for a polynimial equation term. The power value for a polynimial equation term. A transformation which consist of a polynomial equation of the form; y = a + b1(x**c1) + b2(x**c2) + ... + bn(x**cn) where y = the dependent variable, x = the independent variable, a = intercept, b = multiplier, and c = power for terms 1 to n.One term of a polynomial equation. A Table defines a transformation to be applied to an independent variable to produce a dependent variable. A Table contains an optional list of offsets and a list of point-pairs ( x, y ) used in the transformation. x refers to the independent variable and y refers to the dependent variable. The dependent variable is computed by first applying any defined Offsets to the independent variable and then determining a value using interpolation between enclosing point-pairs.One term of a polynomial equation. The code that defines the type of interpolation to perform. A Transformation defines the information needed to transform the independent variable to the dependent variable. A period of time, defined by a starting date and time and an ending date and time, where the rating is in effect. The starting date and time that the rating is in effect. The ending date and time the rating is in effect. Textual remarks about the rating period. Defines an adjustment performed to the independent value before rating lookup. The starting date and time that the shift is in effect. The ending date and time the shift is in effect. Textual remarks describing the reason for the shift. A rating defines a relationship between two types of data. It is the instructions for transforming an independent variable to a dependent variable. The rating identification number. The code that identifys the use of the rating. The code that identifys the type of unit values transport and is only used for conversion of input ratings. Textual remarks about the rating.
