Erratum: Comprehensive approach to tau-lepton production by high-energy tau neutrinos propagating through the Earth [Phys. Rev. D 97, 023021 (2018)]

We report an error found during independent review of the NuTauSim publicly available code \url{this https URL} that forms the basis of this publication. The error in the code was in tracking the density of the medium during particle propagation. After the first interaction, the code was referencing the depth of penetration back to the surface of the Earth rather than the location of the last interaction. The results were obtained using densities that were systematically underestimated when the particle was traversing the inner layers of the Earth by assigning the density of either ice or bedrock, depending on the particle energy or ice thickness of the simulation. This error was fixed and the repository updated on September 29, 2018.
