Notes on the use of propagation of error formulas
Open accessAbstract
Th e " la w of propagation o[ error" is a tool th a t physical sc ienti s ts have co nve nie ntly and fre qu en tly used in th e ir work for ma n y years, yet an adeq uate refere nce is diffi c u lt to find.In thi s paper an expository rev ie w of thi s topi c is prese nte d , partic ularly in the li ght of c urre nt prac ti ces a nd interpretation s.Examp les on t he acc uracy of th e approximations are give n.The reportin g of th e un ce rtainti es of final res ults is di sc ussed .

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.
