Hi, Is this sentence correct? "The version is better than the compared version by 4% " Thank you. If you say ' the version' , it sounds like you expect me to know which version you are talking about.

It's a shortened sentence from an article from a friend of mine. The reader would know the context therefore I don't expect "The version" to be a problem there. However, I had the feeling that you'll have an objection to it. I'm sorry, I should have changed it to "This/that".
To the point. The context is very difficult to understand since the article is about IT stuff from a university. B

Hi,
To the point. The context is very difficult to understand since the article is about IT stuff from a university. But imagine that a method has a 70% accuracy and another method has a 74% accuracy. Can I say that the second one is "Better by 4%"? I suppose so, but why not say 'is 4% more accurate'? I guess the context would explain how accuracy can be measu
