approximations clj

(approximations language actual-value scale)

Numeric approximations translate given numeric value to a set of simplified approximations of that number. Function parameters:

• actual-value - a number which has to be expressed
• language - to be used for text generation
• scale - specifies the granularity of the rounding: 1/10 for one decimal point, 10 for rounding to tenths, and so on.

Resulting approximation provides:

• given-value - a number which is a closest approximation of the actual value
• relation - how given-value relates to actual value: equal, more, less, or around
• hedges - a list of words describing the relation
• text - given-number translated to text

unreliable? clj

(unreliable? actual-value scale)

Actual value and scale values which will generate results which are unreliable:

• actual-value much bigger that the scale
• scale is bigger than the actual value
