Özet
We analyze the basic structure of certain metric models, which are constituted by an index I acting on a metric space (D, d) representing a relevant property of the elements of D. We call such a structure (D, d, I) an index space and define on it normalization and consistency constants that measure to what extent I is compatible with the metric d. The ???best??? indices are those with such constants equal to 1 (standard indices), and we show an approximation method for other indices using them. With the help of Lipschitz extensions, we show how to apply these tools: a new model for the triage process in the emergency department of a hospital is presented.
