Statistics
Figures
![Fig. 1 Average score of observations on PC2 in a sliding window along PC1. The PCA is based on 414 datapoints. Each PC1 sliding window is defined to have width 1.0 (on the scale of PC1) and overlap width of 0.5 with other sliding windows, i.e., the center of the PC1 sliding window occurs at every 0.5 interval. The error bars are defined around the means of the PC2 values within the sliding PC1 windows as +/- the standard error of the PC2 values. Number of samples in each sliding window is listed above each error bar. Based on Shin et al. [21]](/paper-figures/af45f90e106d4bd28bbec1f5a73609df/social-scale-and-collective-computation-does-information-processing-limit-rate-figure-1.png)

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.
