Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

To estimate the uncertainty of measurement, analytical methods are widely used, a review and comparative analysis of which is given in the work. Among the existing methods for estimating the uncertainty in measurement, the most common is the classical method (GUM). The formula for the total standard uncertainty of the output quantity includes the values of partial derivatives (sensitivity coefficients), which, in the case of complex model equations that are often encountered in biological measurements, cause certain difficulties. In this paper, the main attention is paid to the numerical method of Kragten, which involves a modification of the law of propagation of uncertainties (the GUM method) with respect to the sensitivity coefficient. The paper presents the development of an automated program for calculating the uncertainty in measurement by the Kragten method, for which a Certificate was received on entering information into the State Register of Rights to Copyrighted Objects.
