Criteria for Valid Metrics
1. Must allow different entities to be distinguished
2. Must obey representation condition 3. Each unit of attribute contributing to a
valid metric is equivalent 4. Different entities can have the same
attribute value

types of measurement
direct– does not depend on other measures
indirect– involves one or more other measures– e.g. density

Indirect metrics
1. Explicitly defined model 2. Model must be dimensionally consistent 3. No unexpected discontinuities 4. Units and scale types must be correct

Model for MHF?
What would be a good abstraction?
Is there a well-understood Empirical Relationship?
Scale Type?

Inheritance Factor
Md(Ci) = number of methods declared in a class i
Mi(Ci) = number of methods inherited (and not overridden)
in a class iMa(Ci) = Md(Ci) + Mi(C i) = number of methods that can
be invoked in association with class i
