Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The accuracy of each specific attribute is addressed in the attribute section. That said, all calculated values and measured and observed values fell within expected values and were re-assessed if warranted.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Any blank fields reflect samples that were not collected or analyses not conducted for that individual Animal_ID.
Completeness_Report:
Any missing values for FatMass(kg), LeanMass(kg), Fat(%), CalTotal, CalFat, and CalFat(%) reflect measurements that were not collected for that animal.
