Description
Denominator includes answered+missing plus opt-outs unless excludeOptOut; return answered/denominator.
Extension-service records track resources, attendance, feedback and permission assertions. Distinct people and repeated records have different denominators, and a complete record does not prove valid consent or a high-quality service. Names such as verified describe caller-supplied evidence flags.
Denominator includes answered+missing plus opt-outs unless excludeOptOut; return answered/denominator.
When to use this tool
Use Farmer Feedback Answered Item Fraction when checking the stated extension-service record, participation or permission convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter answered, missing, optedOut, excludeOptOut. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read denominator, fraction. Use the output convention below.
Require whole nonnegative answered/missing/optedOut counts and answered+missing>0. Denominator includes answered+missing plus opt-outs unless excludeOptOut; return answered/denominator.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| answered | Answered | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| missing | Missing | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| optedOut | Opted Out | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| excludeOptOut | Exclude Opt Out | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| denominator | Denominator | Required. Safe integer. |
| fraction | Answered divided by the selected completeness denominator; not a population response estimate. | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The reporting policy affects completeness; responses, representativeness and nonresponse bias are not assessed.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review original service and participant records and the applicable permission/organizational rules for actual use or reporting decisions.
