propagation of error) is the effect of variables' uncertainties (or errors, more specifically random errors) on the uncertainty of a function based on them. When the variables are the values of experimental measurements they have uncertainties due to measurement limitations (e.g., instrument error propagation average precision) which propagate to the combination of variables in the function. The uncertainty u error propagation excel can be expressed in a number of ways. It may be defined by the absolute error Δx. Uncertainties can also be defined error propagation definition 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 https://www.rit.edu/cos/uphysics/uncertainties/Uncertaintiespart2.html of a quantity and its error are then expressed as an interval x ± 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 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_of_uncertainty 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 measurement 5 See also 6 References 7 Further reading 8 External links Linear combinations[edit] Let { f k ( x 1 , x 2 , … , x n ) } {\displaystyle \ ρ 5(x_ ρ 4,x_ ρ 3,\dots ,x_ ρ 2)\}} be a set of m functions which are linear combinations of n {\displaystyle n} variables x 1 , x 2 , … , x n {\displaystyle x_ σ 7,x_ σ 6,\dots ,x_ σ 5} with combination coefficients A k 1 , A k 2 , … , A k n , ( k = 1 … m ) {\displaystyle A_ σ 1,A_ σ 0,\dots ,A_ ρ 9,(k=1\dots m)} . f k = ∑ i n A k
"change" in the value of that quantity. Results are is obtained by mathematical operations on the data, and small changes in any data quantity can affect the value of a result. We say that "errors in https://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/scenario/errorman/propagat.htm the data propagate through the calculations to produce error in the result." 3.2 MAXIMUM ERROR We first consider how data errors propagate through calculations to affect error limits (or maximum error) of results. It's easiest to first consider determinate errors, which have explicit sign. This leads to useful rules for error propagation. Then we'll modify and extend the rules to other error measures and also to indeterminate errors. The underlying mathematics is that of "finite differences," an algebra for dealing error propagation with numbers which have relatively small variations imposed upon them. The finite differences we are interested in are variations from "true values" caused by experimental errors. Consider a result, R, calculated from the sum of two data quantities A and B. For this discussion we'll use ΔA and ΔB to represent the errors in A and B respectively. The data quantities are written to show the errors explicitly: [3-1] A + ΔA and B + ΔB We allow propagation of error the possibility that ΔA and ΔB may be either positive or negative, the signs being "in" the symbols "ΔA" and "ΔB." The result of adding A and B is expressed by the equation: R = A + B. When errors are explicitly included, it is written: (A + ΔA) + (B + ΔB) = (A + B) + (Δa + δb) So the result, with its error ΔR explicitly shown in the form R + ΔR, is: R + ΔR = (A + B) + (Δa + Δb) [3-2] The error in R is: ΔR = ΔA + ΔB. We conclude that the error in the sum of two quantities is the sum of the errors in those quantities. You can easily work out the case where the result is calculated from the difference of two quantities. In that case the error in the result is the difference in the errors. Summarizing: Sum and difference rule. When two quantities are added (or subtracted), their determinate errors add (or subtract). Now consider multiplication: R = AB. With errors explicitly included: R + ΔR = (A + ΔA)(B + ΔB) = AB + (ΔA)B + A(ΔB) + (ΔA)(ΔB) [3-3] or : ΔR = (ΔA)B + A(ΔB) + (ΔA)(ΔB) This doesn't look like a simple rule. However, when we express the errors in relative form, things look better. When the error a is small relative to A and ΔB is small relat
