Validation results for the corrected and uncorrected methods: Bias (the average difference between excluded observations and the median TFR estimate), SAPE (the standardized absolute prediction error), PIT area (the area above one in the PIT histogram), and the proportion of excluded observations that fall outside their 80% and 95% prediction intervals
