Note
A plural that only makes sense once accuracy becomes a measurement: the degree to which a reading conforms to a true or standard value. Each instrument, model or method then has its own, so you can compare the accuracies of several sensors. In the general sense of freedom from error, accuracy stays uncountable: you praise a report's accuracy, not its accuracies.
