Description
Return independent+assisted*weight and the unweighted hour sum.
Extension-training comparisons depend on score ranges, credit weights, unit factors, plot support and cost bases. A normalized difference or area-scaled harvest describes supplied records rather than proving learning, causal adoption or an agronomic effect. Caller-chosen factors need separate justification.
Return independent+assisted*weight and the unweighted hour sum.
When to use this tool
Use Farmer Training Assisted Hour Base when checking the stated training, credit, demonstration-plot, unit or cost convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter independentHours, assistedHours, assistanceWeight. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read creditedHours, unweightedHours. Use the output convention below.
Require nonnegative independent/assisted hours and assistanceWeight in [0,1]. Return independent+assisted*weight and the unweighted hour sum.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| independentHours | Independent Hours | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| assistedHours | Assisted Hours | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| assistanceWeight | Assistance Weight | Required. Finite number; minimum 0; maximum 1. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| creditedHours | Credited Hours | Required. Finite number. |
| unweightedHours | Unweighted Hours | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The credit weight is supplied; no educational standard, recognition decision or actual assistance level is verified.
- 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
Use verified representative observations and appropriate complete educational, statistical or budget analysis for substantive training, agricultural or funding decisions.
