Swarm Trap Volume Standard Checker

Measured swarm trap usable volume against independently verified caller site/management band, not universal biological trap optimum. Unknown indices distinguish zero placeholders from known zero margins. Caller independently verifies strain, site, protocol and evidence; not colony-health, treatment, transport-safety or regulatory certification.

Description

Swarm-trap volume assessment depends on a declared target range.

Swarm-trap volume assessment depends on a declared target range.^[1]

A range check does not guarantee attraction or establish a universal trap standard. Use Swarm Trap Volume Standard Checker to compare known observations with supplied bands.

When to use Swarm Trap Volume Standard Checker

Use Swarm Trap Volume Standard Checker to compare known observations with supplied bands. Choose independently established criterion bands in consistent units and mark unassessed observations with known flag 0.

How to use Swarm Trap Volume Standard Checker and understand its results

Choose independently established criterion bands in consistent units and mark unassessed observations with known flag 0.
Enter Observed measured swarm trap liters, Caller measured swarm trap liters lower, Caller measured swarm trap liters upper, Known measured swarm trap liters flags using the field table and validation rules below, then run the tool.
Read Signed known margins, Known review indices, Unknown indices; interpret the units, signs, ordering and unknown-value placeholders described below.
Correct reported input errors and rerun. Apply successful results according to their specific meanings and check the assumptions before using them in a decision.

Input field	Meaning	Value type	Requirement
observedMeasuredSwarmTrapLiters	Observed measured swarm trap liters	array of number	Required; constraints below
callerMeasuredSwarmTrapLitersLower	Caller measured swarm trap liters lower	array of number	Required; constraints below
callerMeasuredSwarmTrapLitersUpper	Caller measured swarm trap liters upper	array of number	Required; constraints below
knownMeasuredSwarmTrapLitersFlags	Known measured swarm trap liters flags	array of number	Required; constraints below

Provide aligned nonempty arrays of observations, lower limits, upper limits and known flags. All numbers must be finite, each lower limit must not exceed its upper limit, and flags must be 0 or 1. Known criteria receive min(observation−lower, upper−observation); a negative margin requests review, while equality is inside the band. Unknown criteria receive a zero placeholder and are listed separately. Review and unknown indices are zero based and retain input order. Limits and their applicable units come from the caller, rather than an installed assessment scale.

known margin = min(observation−lower, upper−observation); unknown margin = 0 placeholder

Use the field order, units and branch conditions described above.

Output field	Meaning	Value type
signedKnownMargins	Distance to the closer inclusive band limit; negative means outside; unknown entries use zero placeholders.	array of number
knownReviewIndices	Zero-based known-criterion indices strictly outside inclusive bands.	array
unknownIndices	Zero-based indices marked unknown; their zero margins are placeholders.	array of number

Limitations and assumptions

A range check does not guarantee attraction or establish a universal trap standard. Apply the exact scope and assumptions explained above.

All listed fields require explicit values. Unexpected fields, incorrect types, nonfinite numbers and sparse arrays fail validation. Domain-specific bounds, alignments and supported tokens are explained above; extremely large inputs or outputs can also be rejected. Input errors differ from successful false results, empty match lists and unknown-evidence placeholders.
