Exact and Invariant Second-Moment Code Format
Abstract
A fundamental analysis of the meaning of second-moment reliability in multivariate problems is presented. The format described is entirely derived from one basic assumption concerning the measurement of reliability. All formulations are exact, and approximations involving the assumption of small variance are only introduced to simplify practical equations. The format is fully invariant under any change of formulation of the failure criteria consistent with the laws of algebra and mechanics.

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.
