This page allows you to provide details of any absolute, prior chronological
information for determination parameters.
Accessing this page
This page can be accessed from the page that lists
absolute, prior chronological information for determination parameters
by selecting "Modify". It is also shown when the software needs to
know the details about absolute, prior chronological information you defined
for determination parameters. The number of determinations you see
per page is the number specified on the configuration
page.
Description
A form is shown for each determination parameter. The form allows
you to provide information about the true calendar date of that parameter.
BCal allows you to supply information about the true calendar date in
the following ways. The calendar used to represent such dates will
depend on your setting within the configuration
page.
-
An exact year. You must know the exact calendar year for the parameter.
-
A normal distribution of dates. You should know the mean calendar
year and the standard deviation from that year for the true calendar date
for that parameter.
-
A range of calendar years. The real date of the parameter exists
uniformly within this range.
