This source is a publication of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST),
an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, prepared jointly with SEMATECH. As a work of
the United States Government it is NOT subject to copyright protection in the United States
(17 U.S.C. 105) and is in the public domain. Anyone may reproduce, transform, and
redistribute it for any purpose, including commercially, without permission.

Attribution to NIST/SEMATECH is provided as a courtesy (see the repository NOTICE), not a
legal obligation. NIST and SEMATECH do not endorse this pack or its authors, and this pack
is not a NIST publication.

TREATMENT OF THE SOURCE'S CONTENT: the original e-Handbook is a web-native reference of many
short interlinked HTML pages carrying per-distribution formula galleries, worked case
studies, datasets, rendered plot/figure images, and Dataplot/R code blocks. This pack
contains only synthesized, transformed reference notes that describe the Handbook's concepts
and method-selection logic in original words. It reproduces none of those galleries, case
studies, datasets, figure images, or code blocks — they are described, not copied.
