I don't think there is any way of scientifically measuring this.
I'd say it all depends on your own proboscis and how effective it is.
You'll need to work out your own hopping schedules based on your past recipes, and your tasting/aroma notes.
Even then, different hops and different harvest years will vary.
If in doubt, add more???????

I totally agree with warra, it's all about personal taste. Me, I'm a hop head and tend to go for 100g's in 60ltr batches, which is about 38g for 23ltr brew lengths, for 'normal' beers, but this can be far higher/lower/non existent, depending on what's being brewed.
I add all my aroma hops as a steep at 80 deg c now, and have noticed a big difference from 15 minute additions...for the better in my case.

I usually steep mine for 30 mins, though again it's personal preference. If I'm running behind on a brew day they can get up to an hour, if I want to finish early then just 15 mins.
