When determining the error attributes, CondRepair uses the agreement statistics Kappa which indicates co-occurrence between the doubt tuples and candidate cause conditions.
They'll either assume there's more to the poem -- perhaps out of a benighted optimism -- or reflexively blame themselves for the error (attributing the absence of any poem-text to their shoddy computer, a connectivity problem, or some sort of human error).
Dr. Lewis, the lead author, said that on checking the references for some of Dr. Gould's accusations he found that Morton had not made the errors attributed to him.
The agency said it was working to reduce the errors, attributing some of the rise to better reporting of mistakes.
For the whole tree biomass stock, the percentage of the total error attributed to first phase (random plot selection and variability) was 90 and 88 % for regression- and BEF-based estimates, respectively, being the remaining attributed to biomass models (regression and BEF models, respectively).
The errors due to model parameter estimates, those due to residual variability around model prediction, and the percentage of the total error attributed to biomass model were larger for BEF models (than for regression models), except for stem and stem wood components.
The design of the instrument is discussed, and the error attributes are analyzed to enhance the instrument's accuracy.
