This is useful for presenting your output measures and calibrations in a clear manner by removing meaningless decimal places from the output. Range is 0 (12345.) to 4 (1.2345).

 

How small is meaningless? Look at the Standard Error columns. Any value clearly less than a standard error has little statistical meaning.

 

Use the "Specification" pull-down menu to alter the value of UDECIMALS= for individual reports.

 

Example 1: You want to report measures and calibrations to the nearest integer:

UDECIMALS = 0

 

Example 2: You want to report measures and calibrations to 4 decimal places because of a highly precise, though arbitrary, pass-fail criterion level:

UDECIMALS = 4
