Spanish term or phrase: Tolerancia
Buenos días:

En la sección de análisis estadístico de un artículo de investigacion, se encuentra lo siguiente:


"Se utilizó una tolerancia de 0,02 desvíos estándar del logit del PP sin posibilidad de reemplazo, para generar un emparejamiento por PP mediante el método de radio".

El término tolerancia ¿podría traducirse al inglés como tolerance? ¿o es caliper width?

Muchas gracias por sus aportes. Un saludo.

caliper
Explanation:
As per Discussion and depending on context, maybe caliper / caliper width rather than "tolerance" might be a better approximation after all.

tolerance


Explanation:
Here you see tolerance in the context of standard deviations:

Outliers in the drifter time-series data were eliminated with a Hampel median filter (Liu et al., 2004) using a window size of nine and a tolerance of three standard deviations.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Neil Ashby, thats why I am asking. En todos los artículos que leo sobre Propensity score hablan de caliper width y no de tolerance.

Asker: The caliper width defines the range within which the propensity scores (or logit of the propensity scores) must fall to be considered a valid match.
