SIMPLE's documentation
SIMPLE aims to be as reliable and transparent as
possible. This report is a crucial piece of that effort.
Most of this report is automatically produced as part of
SIMPLE's quality control protocols. This means that a
new version of this document is produced every time a new version of
SIMPLE is deployed. Even more, several of these tests
are required for a new version to be deployed, meaning that; if any
change reduced accuracy, these tests should prevent that change to
ever be deployed.
SIMPLE's user guide
We are quite transparent in our efforts to make SIMPLE reliable. We are not perfect, but these are some of the tests we run every time we attempt to publish a new verion. Also, this report is updated EVERY TIME we publish a new version. Feel free to comment and—if you think you can make the results better—let us know and we can work together.
