In computing, a roundoff error, [1] also called rounding error, [2] is the difference between the result produced by a given algorithm using exact arithmetic and the result produced by the same algorithm using finite-precision, rounded arithmetic. [3]
The Adams, Sainte-Laguë, and d'Hondt methods are stationary, while Dean and Huntington-Hill are not. A stationary method corresponds to rounding numbers up if they exceed the weighted arithmetic mean of k and k+1. [1] Smaller values of r are friendlier to smaller parties. [19]
However, rounding a 63 bit mantissa to a 52 bit mantissa rarely introduces an error, and if it does, it is 2^-11 ULP, which is trivial. I suppose in some extremely punctilious analysis, it would be worth considering that, but it hardly seems worth discussing in an encyclopedia article, where it is more likely to confuse than enlighten our readers.
False precision (also called overprecision, fake precision, misplaced precision and spurious precision) occurs when numerical data are presented in a manner that implies better precision than is justified; since precision is a limit to accuracy (in the ISO definition of accuracy), this often leads to overconfidence in the accuracy, named precision bias.
Linear errors-in-variables models were studied first, probably because linear models were so widely used and they are easier than non-linear ones. Unlike standard least squares regression (OLS), extending errors in variables regression (EiV) from the simple to the multivariable case is not straightforward, unless one treats all variables in the same way i.e. assume equal reliability.
The “Jingle Bell Rock” dance scene from Mean Girls is a millennial Christmas classic — but it was actually tough for Lacey Chabert to get through. “Dancing is not my strongest suit ...

Rounding to the nearest integer will give the best approximation but can result in / being larger than /, which can cause underflows. Thus m = ⌊ 2 k / n ⌋ {\displaystyle m=\lfloor {2^{k}}/{n}\rfloor } is used for unsigned arithmetic.
