waardparameters

Waardparameters is a Dutch term that may refer to parameters that determine the value, score, or outcome produced by a model, calculation, or measurement. The precise meaning depends on the domain, but in general a waardparameter is a parameter whose value shapes the result of a function or process that yields a value.

In statistical and mathematical modeling, waardparameters are parameters of a value function or scoring rule. They determine the relative importance (weights) of inputs or outcomes; for example, in a weighted sum, the weights are waardparameters. In utility theory or econometrics, parameters of a utility function (risk aversion, curvature) are waardparameters.

In data processing and software, waardparameters can be coefficients used in calibration, normalization, or scoring algorithms. In such contexts, they are often estimated from data via calibration, optimization, or learning.

In metrology and measurement, waardparameters may refer to calibration factors or scale parameters that transform raw measurements into meaningful values with units.

Good practice in documenting waardparameters includes listing each parameter, describing its role, permissible range, units, and how it affects the final value; and describing how the parameters are estimated, updated, or validated.
