weighted averaging of a characteristic. It is usually specific to a standard distribution of age or other characteristic.
exposure factor standardization
in radiology is the elimination of variation as much as possible in as many as possible factors which affect the optimum exposure time. Includes using a standard anode-film distance, use of the same chemicals and preparation technique, eliminating surges and drops in input voltage, and use of the same screen-film combination.
