Term translation should be according to source! The term translation suggested, "अन्य प्रभावित करने योग्य/ वाले पैरामीटर या कारण" is a phrase; also there is no “OTHER” influence parameter or reason, as this translation suggests.
The definition of source, “influence quantity” says, ‘Quantity that is not the measurand but that affects the result of the measurement.’ It means, there is a specific reason (uncontrolled)why the measuring device is inaccurate (as you suggest; temperature, in some cases atmospheric pressure, sometimes may be gravitational force, ...but, definitely not the “level, vibrations, and error of the equipment”, because level or vibration error is not considered as obvious factor in measurement, unless it is by temperature or pressure or gravity. Error in equipment is a different thing, which is not expected here).
This is the reason, why the सांख प्रभाव is suggested.

PARAMETER & QUANTITY Sure enough, quantity is not parameter and vice versa but the two are complementary. Quantity becomes meaningful only when it relates to a parameter eg 5 degree celcius is a quantity but is useless unless it is added that 5 degree celcius is the temerature differential between --A --and --B--.
In a measurement system, the value of the measurand depends on the true value of the measurand, the selected measuring equipment, the skill of the measurer and (to some extent) on other parameters eg temperature, in some cases atmospheric pressure, sometimes may be gravitational force, level, vibrations , error of the equipment. All these (uncertainties of measurement -as these are called) influence the measured result.
Therefore the term अन्य प्रभावित करने योग्य/ वाले पैरामीटर या कारण should be selected.

No quantity can be parameter! Even forcefully we can not bring quantity to define, any parameter. Quantity is different and parameter is different.

In given context term, "influence quantity" suggests, how a quantity can influence results of any parameter. Hence it becomes a quantity, that/which influences the measuring device (parameter).

Secondly there is no main parameter or second parameter. It is just a change in physical status (quantum) of a measuring device and its influence to its result.

This all is explained in the source explanation.

virendra gupta May 2, 2010:

अन्य प्रभावित करने योग्य/ वाले पैरामीटर Although the word "quantity"has been used, it is in fact a parameter which affects the main parameter . Therefore the word parameter in the translation should indicate this. Further, the parameter should be able to INFLUENCE the main parameter. The translation suggested by me is long but conveys the correct meaning.
राशि is quantity, परिमाण is magnitude. प्रभावी is EFFECTIVE and not something capable of influencing.
उदाहरण -माप अनिश्चितता (measurement uncertainty) का अनुमान लगाने से पहले, माप को प्रभावित करने वाले सभी पैरामीटरों कि सूची बनाएँ.

प्रभावी राशि is interpreted as Efective amount! The term, “influence quantity” is not related to any ‘dimension’ or ‘measure’ or not just ‘quantity’ or......
प्रभावी राशि will be interpreted as Effective Amount! Isn't it!!

प्रभावी राशि may be closer to the intended meaning in this context.

Sushan Harshe Aug 19, 2009:

suggested term, “प्रभावी परिमाण” is not The term, “influence quantity” is not related to any ‘dimension’ or ‘measure’ or not just ‘quantity’ or ‘quantum’. It is related to quantity but, “quantity that affects the result of the measurement”. So in my opinion suggested term, “प्रभावी परिमाण” is not proper to convey the source meaning.

dsrivastava Aug 18, 2009:

How about प्रभावी परिमाण?

Sushan Harshe Jun 20, 2009:

“प्रभावी मात्रा” stands for “effective dose” Suggested term “प्रभावी मात्रा” stands for “effective dose” and not for "influence quantity”.
Original: Experts warn, though, that pills used to control pain, such as NSAIDs, should only be given when necessary and in the smallest “effective dose”.
Translation: विशेषज्ञों की राय है, यद्यपि, कि गोलियाँ NSAIDs जैसे दर्द, को नियंत्रित करने के लिए उपयोग किया है, केवल जब आवश्यक है और सबसे छोटी “प्रभावी मात्रा” में दी जानी चाहिए.

प्रभावी-मात्रा this is most comphrehensive meaning
