linear assessment
a method of expressing an assessment result as a score out of a possible perfect score of 10, or some other number. Used in body condition scoring, showring judging of conformation.

linear energy transfer
expresses the quality of electronic radiation. It is concerned with the spatial distributions of energy transfers which occur in the tracks of particles as they penetrate matter.
linear program
a management program used to determine the best mix of ingredients or services to be used in a particular situation to maintain the highest level of productivity or profitability or other similar parameter.
linear regression
statistical method used to study the relationship between independent and dependent variables when the dependent variable consists of continuous data.
linear score
for somatic cell counts in milk (SCCs) convert SCC logarithmically from cells per milliliter to a linear score from 0-9. The linear score has a straight line, inverse relationship with milk yield. An increase of one in the linear score is associated with a 400-pound decrease in lactation milk yield or a 1.5 pound drop in daily yield.

In Appendix B, we show that if no extra memory locations are used, then the integrality gap of our linear program can be arbitrarily large.
The objective function used in the linear program for the multiple disk problem in Section 4 simply adds up the processor stall times of the individual prefetch intervals ignoring the fact that a processor stall time has to be counted only once if several prefetches are performed in parallel.
In the second part of this appendix, we show that the integrality gap of the linear program is unbounded if no extra blocks are allowed.

Mathematically, the linear program is unchanged but now the lotteries represent equilibrium fractions of the population of banks.
This program is not a linear program because neither the objective function nor the participation constraint is linear.
This program is a linear program because it has a finite number of linear constraints, a linear objective function, and a finite number of variables.
