Thanks for sharing this! I did notice a weird non-monotonicity: if I go from 90 minutes exposure to 120 minutes, the “Percent of Population w/ Sunburn Degree 1 at Time Exposed” drops from 96.8% to 72.7%. There is a warning in both cases that it’s outside normal range, but it still seems odd that more exposure gives lower risk.
Indeed, the results for which warnings are thrown should be disregarded; the non-monotonicity of out-of-bounds results is a situation I noticed as well.
The authors were quite clear about the equation only being useful in certain conditions, and it does seem to act reliably in those conditions, so I think this is just an out-of-bounds quirk that can be disregarded.
