Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Güimil-Fariña and Parcero-Oubiña (2015) compared four cost functions, despite three aiming to represent the same hypothesis 'humans minimise energy expenditure when traversing the landscape'.

    “For example, Güimil-Fariña and Parcero-Oubiña (2015) compared four cost functions, despite three of these aiming to represent the same hypothesis 'humans minimise energy expenditure when traversing the landscape'.”

    From Explaining known past routes, underdetermination, and the use of multiple cost functions (2024) · cites this paper as Güimil-Fariña and Parcero-Oubiña (2015)

  • Llobera and Sluckin's (2007) energy expenditure cost function has previously been successful in modelling Roman roads, motivating its use over Tobler's Hiking Function.

    “The use of Llobera and Sluckin's (2007) energy expenditure cost function over the more familiar time-based Tobler's Hiking Function (Tobler, 1993) reflects previous success in its ability to model Roman roads (e.g.Fonte et al., 2017;Güimil-Fariña & Parcero-Oubiña, 2015;Parcero-Oubiña et al., 2019).”

    From Probabilistic modelling for incorporating uncertainty in least cost path results: a postdictive roman road case study (2021) · cites this paper as Güimil-Fariña & Parcero-Oubiña, 2015

  • 'Scaffolding' of models is a good approach to sequentially introduce extra complications without making them unmanageable.

    “'Scaffolding' of models is then a good approach to sequentially introduce extra complications into the models without making them unmanageable, as is for example demonstrated by Güimil-Fariña and Parcero-Oubiña (2015).”

    From Modelling of pathways and movement networks in archaeology: an overview of current approaches (2019) · cites this paper as Güimil-Fariña and Parcero-Oubiña (2015)

  • Güimil-Fariña and Parcero-Oubiña [2015] introduced more systematic tests of cost models by comparing LCPs derived from four different slope-dependent cost functions combined with a constant high-cost factor for movement in riverbeds.

    “More systematic tests of cost models were introduced in the publication by Güimil-Fariña and Parcero-Oubiña [2015], that compared the LCPs derived from four different slope-dependent cost functions combined with a constant high-cost factor for movement in riverbeds.”

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.
