Grayda Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Looking at this JSON file, I see that the Kp estimate field is a float (e.g. 0.33), while the Kp field is a string with a number, suffixed by either a "M", "P" or "Z". I came across the definition of those suffixes a while back, but can't seem to find them now. I seem to recall that they're something like a shorthand (e.g. instead of 0.333..., you'd type 0Z), but I could be wrong. Googling this info is tricky because they're single letters and get lost amongst other letters on the page. So, does anyone know what they are, or can point me towards a link or thread with the explanation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaimbridge Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Arenʼt they just roundings, where “M”inus is less than, “P”lus is greater than and “Z”ero is equal: E.g., “1.667,'2M'” means actual value is 1.666667 rounded up to 2 (so the actual value is less, or minus); “4.333,'4P'” is 4.333333 rounded down to 4 (actual value is greater, or plus); “3,'3Z'” is exactly 3.0? ~Kaimbridge~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though as a programmer, my convention would be to use "GT", "LT" and "EQ" for "Greater Than", "Less Than" and "Equal To".. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel de Bont Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 That is correct. The finalized for example Kp-index is expressed in thirds: 3- 3o and 3+. 3P in decimals would be 3.33333 or 3+. Hope that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
