- N, number of points in the Arai plot used for the linear best-fit; σ/slope, the ratio of the standard error of the slope of the selected segment in the Arai plot to the absolute value of the slope; f, NRM fraction used for the best-fit calculation; q, quality factor (Coe et al. 1978); MAD-anc, anchored maximum angular deviation; α, the angular difference between the anchored and non-anchored best-fit; δ(CK), relative check error; δ(pal), cumulative check error (Leonhardt et al. 2004); δ(TR), relative intensity difference in pTRM tail check; δ(t*): the normalized tail of pTRM (Leonhardt et al. 2004)
