Computational limitations necessitated the use of the 50m OS Terrain 50 DEM over more accurate data sources such as the 5m OS Terrain 5 DEM.
“Furthermore, whilst the resolution of the DEM has been noted to have an impact on LCP results (Conolly & Lake, 2006, pp. 101-102;Herzog & Yépez, 2015b;Verhagen et al., 2019), with Kantner (2012) recommending the use of DEMs with a resolution of under 30m, computational limitations necessitated the use of the 50m DEM over more accurate data sources such as the OS Terrain 5 DEM (5m resolution and 2.”

Random error in the DEM can have significant consequences on the computed LCP because LCPs are extremely sensitive to small changes in variables.
“This random error in the DEM can have significant consequences on the computed LCP, given the extreme sensitivity of LCPs to small changes in variables (Kantner, 2012, p. 234).”

The convoluted paths over water indicate an issue with the type of LCP analysis used within the software suite, since least cost is preferentially chosen over least distance.
“The convoluted paths over water also indicates an issue with the type of LCP analysis used within the software suite, since least cost is preferentially chosen over least distance (see Kantner, 2012 for a discussion of this issue).”

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.
