WHAT DOES WEIGHTING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Weighting

The process of weighting involves emphasizing the contribution of some aspects of a phenomenon to a final effect or result, giving them more weight in the analysis. That is, rather than each variable in the data contributing equally to the final result, some data are adjusted to contribute more than others. It is analogous to the practice of adding extra weight to one side of a pair of scales to favour a buyer or seller. While weighting may be applied to a set of data, such as epidemiological data, it is more commonly applied to measurements of light, heat, sound, gamma radiation, in fact any stimulus that is spread over a spectrum of frequencies.

Definition of weighting in the English dictionary

The definition of weighting in the dictionary is an increase in some quantity, esp an additional allowance paid to compensate for higher living costs.
