Class: Comparison_Criterion

Documentation: The comparison criterion is used to express criteria of the forms: (1) Is the (most_recent|average_of) Observation value within valid_window, whose coded-concept is specified in the code_concept slot, is equal to, greater than, less than, or not equal to the value of "value" slot. (2) If vmr_class is not Observation, then we use this to check if the number of instances of such vmr class that satisfy the specified constraints is equal ti, greater than, less than, or not equal to the value of "value" slot
