Both csv files use the \textit{sigma\_tau\_curve\_name} to couple the data. + +For more information, see the \citep{DAMUI_Manual}. + \section{Results} First of all, not all calculations will pass kernel validations or lead to valid results due to errors that occur in the calculations (e.g. uplift does not occur where it is expected).
