Can you possibly suggest a translation of "acotacion" in this sentence.
"La información de la cual hablamos es.....información que permite Inferencias para medir valores esperados y las incertidumbres que las afectan de modo que estas puedan ser debidamente acotadas"
lower down in the document is a line graph accompanied by the text box; "acotacion de incertidumbres"
Judging from the presence of the line graph, I suspect "acotacion" might mean something like "plotting (out)" or "marking out" uncertainties. What do you think?

Comment: "I agree with "defining", "limiting" or even "setting". If referring to a graph, the verb "plotting" might be more appropriate. "

: you are right....I just realized we are all wrong..actually..I think it is Defining Uncertainty Boundaries..acotar is set a boundary..

thanks, Jane. Without more context there is always an element of uncertainty. No pun intended.
