quantitatively
In measured terms
Quantitatively means in terms of quantity or measurable amount, as opposed to quality or kind.
Research that measures quantitatively uses numbers and statistics: The study quantitatively assessed changes in biodiversity.
Contrasts with qualitatively, which concerns character or nature rather than amount.
