List of MWD Model Error Sources and Weighting Functions

B1 - MWD Model Weighting Functions at Revision 3 Revisions 1 and 3 made changes to the MWD model weighting functions (see section Ap1.3.6 for a discussion of the revisions to the MWD model). This is the current list at revision 3. Revision 4 is a change to how certain error magnitude values are calculated and does not affect the weighting functions so this list is correct for both revisions 3 and 4. The next section lists the weighting functions which have been replaced.
