Propagate Error Mean

propagation of error) is the effect of variables' uncertainties (or errors, more specifically random errors) on the uncertainty of a function based propagation of error division on them. When the variables are the values of experimental measurements error propagation calculator they have uncertainties due to measurement limitations (e.g., instrument precision) which propagate to the combination of error propagation physics variables in the function. The uncertainty u can be expressed in a number of ways. It may be defined by the absolute error Δx. Uncertainties can

also be defined by the relative error (Δx)/x, which is usually written as a percentage. Most commonly, the uncertainty on a quantity is quantified in terms of the standard deviation, σ, the positive square root of variance, σ2. The value of a quantity and its error are then expressed as an interval x error propagation chemistry ± u. If the statistical probability distribution of the variable is known or can be assumed, it is possible to derive confidence limits to describe the region within which the true value of the variable may be found. For example, the 68% confidence limits for a one-dimensional variable belonging to a normal distribution are ± one standard deviation from the value, that is, there is approximately a 68% probability that the true value lies in the region x ± σ. If the uncertainties are correlated then covariance must be taken into account. Correlation can arise from two different sources. First, the measurement errors may be correlated. Second, when the underlying values are correlated across a population, the uncertainties in the group averages will be correlated.[1] Contents 1 Linear combinations 2 Non-linear combinations 2.1 Simplification 2.2 Example 2.3 Caveats and warnings 2.3.1 Reciprocal 2.3.2 Shifted reciprocal 3 Example formulas 4 Example calculations 4.1 Inverse tangent function 4.2 Resistance measu

In other words, the error of $x + y$ is given by $\sqrt{e_1^2 + e_2^2}$, where $e_1$ http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/123276/error-propagation-on-weighted-mean and $e_2$ and the errors of $x$ and $y$, respectively. However, I have not yet been able to find how to calculate the error of both the arithmetic mean and the weighted mean of the two measured quantities. How do errors propagate in these cases? statistics error-propagation share|cite|improve this question edited Mar 22 '12 at 17:02 Michael Hardy 158k16145350 asked Mar 22 '12 at 13:46 plok 10815 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote accepted The first assertion assumes one takes mean squared errors, which in probabilistic terms translates into standard deviations. Now, probability says that the variance of two independent variables is the sum of the variances. Hence, if $z = x + y$ , $\sigma_z^2 = \sigma_x^2 + \sigma_y^2 $ and $$e_z = \sigma_z = \sqrt{\sigma_x^2 + \sigma_y^2} = \sqrt{e_x^2 + e_y^2} $$ Knowing this, and knowing that $Var(a X) = a^2 Var(X)$, if $z = a x + (1-a) y$ (weighted mean, if $ 0\le a \le1$) we get: $$\sigma_z^2 = a^2\sigma_x^2 + (1-a)^2\sigma_y^2 $$ $$e_z = \sqrt{a^2 e_x^2 + (1-a)^2 e_y^2} = a \sqrt{ e_x^2 + \left(\frac{1-a}{a}\right)^2 e_y^2} $$ In particular, if $a=1/2$ , then $e_z = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{ e_x^2 + e_y^2} $ share|cite|im
