License
The License section of Analysis Center displays royalty rate data based on the resulting agreements at the license level.
Statistics and images are organized by Common Base and include Observations, Minimum, 1st Quartile, Average, Median,
3rd Quartile and Maximum.
To view each graph, click on the arrows, or click on the Common Base level you wish to view.
Sub-license
The Sub-license section of Analysis Center displays royalty rate data based on the resulting agreements at the sub-license
level. Statistics and images are organized by Common Base and include Observations, Minimum, 1st Quartile, Average,
Median, 3rd Quartile and Maximum.
To view each graph, click on the arrows, or click on the Common Base level you wish to view.
Referral
The Referral section of Analysis Center displays royalty rate data based on the resulting agreements at the referral level.
Statistics and images are organized by Common Base and include Observations, Minimum, 1st Quartile, Average, Median,
3rd Quartile and Maximum.

Royalty Rate Function
Royalty Rate Functions allow the user to view a particular set of analytics, computed using either the Min, Avg or Max set of
data.
Min (Minimum)
The Minimum column displays calculations computed using the minimum royalty rates included within the selected
search set.
Avg (Average)
The Mean column displays calculations computed using the mean royalty rates included within the selected search set.
Min (Maximum)
The Maximum column displays calculations computed using the maximum royalty rates included within the selected
search set.
Analysis Points
Analysis points include Observations, Minimum, 1st Quartile, Average, Median, 3rd Quartile and Maximum. Each analysis
point calculation is calculated using the set of royalty rates corresponding to the header (Minimum, Mean and Maximum).
Common Base
Each agreement uses its own language to explain compensation. In order to simplify the users research process,
ktMINE analysts rolled similar base variables into a common base category. For example, our common base of
NET SALES includes variables such as NET REVENUE, NET SALES PRICE, BUYERS REVENUES, NET SALES
VALUE, and NET SELLING PRICE. This common base also allows ktMINE to provide meaningful statistical analysis of
agreements.
Common Bases include Gross Sales, Net Sales, Costs, Gross Profit, Operating Profit, Net Profit, Assets, and Other. To
view the graph for a particular Common Base, click on the text.
Observations
Number of Observations is the number of royalty rates present in the entire data set.
Minimum
Minimum is the smallest number contained within the Minimum, Mean or Maximum data set.
1st Quartile
The quartiles are calculated as follows:
We use the median of the data set to divide the ordered data set into two halves. If the median is an actual data point
(as opposed to being the average of the middle two data), we do not include the median in either half. The lower quartile
value is the median of the lower half of the data. The upper quartile value is the median of the upper half of the data.
Average
Average is the mean of all numbers contained within the Minimum, Mean, or Maximum data set. Average is calculated
by adding all available rates and dividing by the number of quantities.
Median
Median is the numerical value separating the high and low halves of a data set. Alternatively, the median is the number
in the middle of the Minimum, Mean or Maximum data set.
3rd Quartile
The quartiles are calculated as follows:
We use the median of the data set to divide the ordered data set into two halves. If the median is an actual data point
(as opposed to being the average of the middle two data), we do not include the median in either half. The lower quartile
value is the median of the lower half of the data. The upper quartile value is the median of the upper half of the data.
Maximum
Maximum is the largest number contained within the Minimum, Mean or Maximum data set.
Filters
Filters allow the user to view all statistics defined above for subsets of the resulting agreements. Filters include Industries,
Agreement Types, Royalty Bases and Territories. When Filters are applied, the graphs and statistics will reflect only that
information from the resulting set of agreements. Filter options are pre populated from the agreements present in Results
