accuracies
Degrees of correctness
Accuracies is the plural of accuracy—the quality of being correct or precise.
The word appears when comparing different degrees or types of correctness: The accuracies of the two methods were tested side by side.
Scientific and technical contexts often measure accuracies across multiple trials or instruments: We recorded the accuracies of each sensor.
