The Chen et al. frost thickness correlation had a relative error of 8.44% and a root mean square error of 12.54% between predicted and experimental data.
“The relative error and the root mean square error between the predicted value and the experimental data were 8.44% and 12.54%, respectively.”
The optimal defrosting start-time was when the effective blockage ratio reached 30%.
“the optimal defrosting start-time was when EBR reached 30%.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
