Technical Guidelines - Rounding rules to be applied in ICES advice

This section describes the rounding approaches used in the ICES advice sheets. Rounding is used to ease comparison of values; rounded figures therefore do not represent the level of precision of the various estimates provided. The precision may be determined by consulting the coefficients of variations where available, or to the upper and lower confidence intervals when provided. The rounding rules were agreed by ICES Advisory Committee (ACOM) in November 2016.
