Hi, and Happy New Year!
I tried writing out the definition repeatedly, making it more and more succinct, and came up with some possible names.
The sequence went something like:
Fraction of cell area for which X is within the stated bounds
Area fraction for which X is within the stated bounds
Area fraction for X within bounds
area_fraction_expressing_X (candidate?)
area_fraction_featuring_X (candidate?)
area_fraction_exhibiting_X (candidate?)
area_fraction_with_X (candidate? I like this one best.)
I figured they might at least spur some discussion. Feel free to hate them all. I won?t mind.
Grace and peace,
Jim
