The glossary is being gradually proof checked, but may have typos and misspellings.

This may be expressed on numerical scales, percentages or even 0–1 probability values – however confidence measures are usually neither precise nor real frequencies or probabilities, more an assessment where larger numbers denote more confidence than lower numbers.
