fudge factor
(foldoc) | fudge factor
A value or parameter that is varied in an ad hoc way to
produce the desired result. The terms "tolerance" and slop
are also used, though these usually indicate a one-sided
leeway, such as a buffer that is made larger than necessary
because one isn't sure exactly how large it needs to be, and
it is better to waste a little space than to lose completely
for not having enough. A fudge factor, on the other hand, can
often be tweaked in more than one direction. A good example
is the "fuzz" typically allowed in floating-point
calculations: two numbers being compared for equality must be
allowed to differ by a small amount; if that amount is too
small, a computation may never terminate, while if it is too
large, results will be needlessly inaccurate. Fudge factors
are frequently adjusted incorrectly by programmers who don't
fully understand their import.
