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

  • A GAM enables fitting non-linear models for a wide family of statistical distributions.

    “A GAM enables fitting non-linear models for a wide family of statistical distributions, and thus is preferred to some other habitat modelling approaches (Guisan and Zimmermann, 2000).”

    From Global habitat preferences of commercially valuable tuna (2015) · cites this paper as Guisan and Zimmermann, 2000

  • Spatially explicit linear regression models have been conventionally used to predict species and community distribution based on explanatory variables such as climate and topography.

    “Spatially explicit linear regression models have been conventionally used to predict species and community distribution based on explanatory variables such as climate and topography124,125.”

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.
