express as a number or measure or quantity; "Can you quantify your results?" use as a quantifier
If you try to quantify something, you try to calculate how much of it there is. It is difficult to quantify an exact figure as firms are reluctant to declare their losses. + quantification quan·ti·fi·ca·tion Others are more susceptible to attempts at quantification. to calculate the value of something and express it as a number or an amount (quantificare, from quantus; QUANTITY)
The operator, represented by either of the symbols ∀ (universal quantifier) or ∃ (existential quantifier), used in predicate calculus to indicate the degree that predicate is true for a specified set
Something that is quantifiable can be measured or counted in a scientific way. A clearly quantifiable measure of quality is not necessary. unquantifiable
the act of discovering or expressing the quantity of something a limitation imposed on the variables of a proposition (as by the quantifiers `some' or `all' or `no')
Quantification is a way to talk about objects without being specific about the identity of the objects involved There are two kinds of quantification: existential and universal Each quantification uses one quantifier and one variable For details on quantification, click here
In grammar, a quantifier is a word or phrase such as `plenty' or `a lot' which you use to refer to a quantity of something without being precise. It is often followed by `of', as in `a lot of money'. a word or phrase such as 'much', 'few', or 'a lot of' that is used with a noun to show quantity
A specific type of determiner that gives an indication of quantity They usually answer the question how much: One of the boys hit all of the balls over the fence
A logical constant which indicates the quantity of a class which has a property Examples: "all", "no", and "some", are the most frequently studied quantifiers in English
A quantifier is a special type of CYC® constant used in quantification CycL contains five quantifiers: #$forAll, #$thereExists, #$thereExistAtLeast, #$thereExistAtMost, and #$thereExistExactly Each quantifier introduces a new variable
modern predicate logic uses quantifier expressions some ($) and all (") in sentences with variables (x, y, ), predicates (F, G, ), relations (R, ), identity and logical constants (and, or, not, if-then) ($x) ($y) (if Fx and Gy, then x=y) reads 'For some x and for some y, if x is F and y is G, then x is identical with y' The individual or multiple use of the universal quantifier 'all' and the existential quantifier 'there exists' to bind variables in sentences has been seen as the key to the development of a powerful and flexible system of modern predicate logic
(grammar) a word that expresses a quantity (as `fifteen' or `many') (logic) a word (such as `some' or `all' or `no') that binds the variables in a logical proposition
The operator, represented by either of the symbols ∀ (universal quantifier) or ∃ (existential quantifier), used in predicate calculus to indicate the degree that predicate is true for a specified set
