  2. Propagation of uncertainty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_of_uncertainty

    Any non-linear differentiable function, (,), of two variables, and , can be expanded as + +. If we take the variance on both sides and use the formula [11] for the variance of a linear combination of variables ⁡ (+) = ⁡ + ⁡ + ⁡ (,), then we obtain | | + | | +, where is the standard deviation of the function , is the standard deviation of , is the standard deviation of and = is the ...

  3. Probability of error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_of_error

    In statistics, the term "error" arises in two ways. ... Thus distribution can be used to calculate the probabilities of errors with values within any given range.

  4. False positive rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_positive_rate

    In statistics, when performing multiple comparisons, a false positive ratio (also known as fall-out or false alarm rate [1]) is the probability of falsely rejecting the null hypothesis for a particular test.

  5. Errors and residuals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errors_and_residuals

    The statistical errors, on the other hand, are independent, and their sum within the random sample is almost surely not zero. One can standardize statistical errors (especially of a normal distribution) in a z-score (or "standard score"), and standardize residuals in a t-statistic, or more generally studentized residuals.

  6. Technique for human error-rate prediction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technique_for_human_error...

    In order for the final HEP calculation to be valid, the following assumptions are required to be fulfilled: There exists a seismic event initiator that leads to the establishment of air-based ventilation on the ITP processing tanks 48 and 49, possibly 50 in some cases.

  7. Error analysis (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_analysis_(mathematics)

    The analysis of errors computed using the global positioning system is important for understanding how GPS works, and for knowing what magnitude errors should be expected. The Global Positioning System makes corrections for receiver clock errors and other effects but there are still residual errors which are not corrected.

  8. Margin of error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margin_of_error

    For a confidence level, there is a corresponding confidence interval about the mean , that is, the interval [, +] within which values of should fall with probability . ...
