Name in the dataset wbc
Type lab
Stored in lab_data.csv

Unit ×1000/mcL

Description

Single resolution; last digit flat.

Its time is the lab system's result time: see Blood gas result time and Central lab result time.

Measurement space

-0.00500.005true minus recorded (×1000/mcL)density

A vertical slice through the measurement space: how the true value is spread around any one recorded value. Its shape is uniform.

Time

Its time side is still to be described.

Value

Model kind uniform: single resolution; uniform over the rounding interval
Resolution 0.01 ×1000/mcL, nearest
Native step 0.01 ×1000/mcL
Anchor nearest (convention)

In this release

How wide the true-value distribution is, record by record, over 4,346 of 4,346 records (every lab row of 600 random cases) that have one. Computed with the pinned model, aggregates only.
