Mechanisms¶
- Weighted Moment Accumulator
- Its strength is exact, correctly-weighted moments that merge across any grouping without average-of-averages bias
This sourceProvides pairwise formulas for merging sample-variance calculations across groups with controlled roundoff error.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
