eigrp and metric

Hello Team,
I am currently studying the commands in the ios guide. And I have come across
the following:
metric weights tos k1 k2 k3 k4 k5, tos
Type of service. Currently, it must always be zero.

k1-k5
Constants that convert an IGRP or enhanced IGRP metric vector into a scalar
quantity

basically this command is to tune the metric calculation for eigrp. Question
what is meant by convert an eigrp metric vector into a scalar quantity? Maybe
this should be a question for the eigrp developer, but I just want to
understand why you would want to change the eigrp metric formula? I know that
the offset command can increase the metric after calculation. It seems that
this is another way to change the metrics? Any insight greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Matijevic
