error rate

listen to the pronunciation of error rate
English - English
(Bilgisayar) Error Rate is a term that describes the degree of errors encountered during data transmission over a communications or network connection. The higher the Error Rate the less reliable the connection or data transfer will be. It can also refer to a physical hardware device as well as a software application where in many cases, it may be acceptable if a certain number of errors are generated. This is often referred to as the Error Rate and the acceptable level will vary according to the device being used. For instance, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software, at present will have an error rate around five to ten percent
The ratio of incorrectly received (bits, characters or blocks) to the total amount of transmitted data
A measure of data integrity, given as the fraction of bits which are flawed Often expressed as a negative power of 10, as in 10-6 (a rate of one error in every one million bits)
The ratio of all of the selected error packets to the total number of packets
{i} ratio of incorrect assignments to categories or classes of a classification (Archaeology)
A measure of data integrity, given as the fraction of bits which are flawed Often expressed as a negative power of 10
The percentage of records within a file that contain validation errors The maximum error rate permitted in files added to the database is 2%
A measure of the accuracy of information given and transactions processed
In many cases, it may be acceptable if an input device generates a certain number of errors This is often referred to as the error rate and the acceptable level will vary according to the input device being used and the business application Optical character recognition, for example, is generally considered a comparatively unreliable means of entering data At present, a typical OCR software package will have an error rate of between five and ten per cent
Either the number of defective transactions or the number of defective steps in a transaction
The number of errors per number of transactions
Ratio of the number of signal elements (or data) incorrectly received to the total number transmitted (2) The probability of an error occurring during the transmission of a message
  Deprecated term   See error ratio
A measure of data integrity, expressed as a fraction of corrupted bits over transmission bits per second
bit error rate
(Telecommunications) ratio of bits received with errors to the total number of bits transmitted (expressed as a fraction or percent), BER
bit error rate test
test designed to determine the bit error rate in a given transmission and performed using special test monitoring equipment, BERT (Telecommunications)
