Exponent inference from a magnetic data collapse (α=2−2β−γ,ν=(2β+γ)/d)

If magnetic data collapse with independently specified critical exponents β,γ, the ordinary scaling identities infer Δ=β+γ, δ=1+γ/β, and the displayed exponents. The Fisher scaling relation then gives η=2−γ/ν. These are conditional inferences, not five additional independent measurements. Hyperscaling is needed for the spatial exponents, and subtraction can make small inferred α or η unusually sensitive to uncertainty. A slope on linear axes is not a fitted logarithmic exponent.
