There have been several minor variations in the definition of TE temperament measures, which differ from each other only in their choice of multiplicative scaling factor. Each of these variations will be discussed below.

TE temperament measures have been extensively studied by [[Graham Breed]] (see [http://x31eq.com/temper/primerr.pdf ''Prime Based Error and Complexity Measures''], often referred to as ''primerr.pdf''), who also proposed [[Cangwu badness]], an important derived measure, which adds a free parameter to TE simple badness that enables one to specify a tradeoff between complexity and error.

We can consider '''TE error''' to be a weighted average of the error of each [[prime harmonic]]s in [[TE tuning]], that is, a weighted average of the [[error map]] in TE tuning. TE error may be expressed in any logarithmic [[interval size unit]]s such as [[cent]]s or [[octave]]s.
