Arrangement
Numbers & Alignment
Columns contain data with a varying number of decimal digits disrupt the visual structure of the columns in form of creating ragged edges on the right of a column.
- To facilitate comparison of numbers in columns and to preserve the visual structure of columns (Gestalt principle of enclosure) numbers have now equal number of decimal digits with same alignment down the columns. The column headers also have been aligned with the associated data.
Numbers occur with varying numeric precision.
- A numeric precision level of 5 decimal digits has been set to not exceed information with too excessive level of precision.
Descriptions
The abbreviated row headers Comp and Impu are not consistent with the title and are not convenient describing the use of CRs only and the proposed method.
- The use of the abbreviations CR to describe the use of CRs only and prop to describe the proposed method link to the used methods in a more intuitive manner.
The arrangement of the rows Comp and Impu isn't handy to recognize that there is less difference between Full and Impu than between Full and Comp.
- Therefore the rows have been arranged in such order to be unterstood more easily. The row prop has been placed above the row CR.
