| Schedule of Share-based Payment Award, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, Valuation Assumptions [Table Text Block] |
We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following assumptions to estimate the stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014:
| | | Years Ended December 31, | | | | | 2016 | | 2015 | | 2014 | | | Weighted-average risk-free interest rate | | | 1.53 | % | | 1.88 | % | | 2.04 | % | | Expected dividend payments | | | — | | | — | | | — | | | Expected holding period (years)(1) | | | 6.53 | | | 6.48 | | | 6.46 | | | Weighted-average volatility factor(2) | | | 0.92 | | | 1.16 | | | 1.65 | | | Estimated forfeiture rates for options granted | | | 29 | % | | 30 | % | | 31 | %
|
| (1)
| Expected holding period is based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and the expectations of future employee behavior.
|
| (2)
| Weighted average volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock. |
| (3)
| Estimated forfeiture rates are based on historical data. |
