Tuesday, August 03, 2004propagation 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 precision) which propagate to the combination propagated error calculus of variables in the function. The uncertainty u can be expressed in a number of ways. error propagation square root 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 http://ion.chem.usu.edu/~sbialkow/Classes/3600/Overheads/Propagation/Prop.html ± 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 ± https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_of_uncertainty 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 i x i or f = A x {\displaystyle f_ ρ 5=\sum _ ρ 4^ ρ 3A_ ρ 2x_ ρ 1{\text{ or }}\mathrm ρ 0 =\mathrm σ 9 \,} and let the variance-covariance matrix on x be denoted by Σ

Reliability of estimates for Labour Force data. On this page: Why do we have Standard Errors? Importance of Standard error propagation Errors Standard Error versus Relative Standard Error Example Further reading Why do we have Standard Errors? Estimates from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) are based on information collected from people in a sample of dwellings, rather than all dwellings. Hence the estimates produced may differ from those that would have been produced if the entire population had propagation of error been included in the survey. The most common measure of the likely difference (or 'sampling error') is the Standard Error (SE). Back to top Importance of Standard Errors It is important to consider the Standard Error when using LFS estimates as it affects the accuracy of the estimates and, therefore, the importance that can be placed on the interpretations drawn from the data. Back to top Standard Error versus Relative Standard Error The Standard Error measure indicates the extent to which a survey estimate is likely to deviate from the true population and is expressed as a number. The Relative Standard Error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a fraction of the estimate and is usually displayed as a percentage. Estimates with a RSE of 25% or greater are subject to high sampling error and should be used with caution. The reliability of estimates can also be assessed in terms of a confidence interval. Confidence intervals represent the range in which the population value is likel
techniques coupled with type B analyses and propagation of error. It is a continuation of the case study of type A uncertainties. Background - description of measurements and constraints The measurements in question are volume resistivities (ohm.cm) of silicon wafers which have the following definition: $$ \rho = X_0 \cdot K_a \cdot F_T \cdot t \cdot F_{t/s} $$ with explanations of the quantities and their nominal values shown below: $$ \begin{eqnarray*} \rho & = & \mbox{resistivity} = 0.00128 \,\,\, \mbox{ohm} \cdot \mbox{cm} \\ X & = & \mbox{voltage/current} \,\, \mbox{(ohm)} \\ t & = & \mbox{thickness}_{wafer} \,\, (\mbox{cm}) \\ K_a & = & \mbox{factor}_{electrical} = 4.50 \,\,\, \mbox{ohm} \cdot \mbox{cm} \\ F_T & = & \mbox{correction}_{temp} \approx 1 ^\circ \mbox{C} \\ F_{t/s} & = & \mbox{factor}_{thickness/separation} \approx 1.0 \end{eqnarray*} $$ Type A evaluations The resistivity measurements, discussed in the case study of type A evaluations, were replicated to cover the following sources of uncertainty in the measurement process, and the associated uncertainties are reported in units of resistivity (ohm.cm). Repeatability of measurements at the center of the wafer Day-to-day effects Run-to-run effects Bias due to probe #2362 Bias due to wiring configuration Need for propagation of error Not all factors could be replicated during the gauge experiment. Wafer thickness and measurements required for the scale corrections were measured off-line. Thus, the type B evaluation of uncertainty is computed using propagation of error. The propagation of error formula in units of resistivity is as follows: $$ \large{ s_\rho = \rho \sqrt{\frac{s_X^2}{X^2} + \frac{s_t^2}{t^2} + \frac{s_{K_a}^2}{K_a^2} +\frac{s_{F_T}^2}{F_T^2} + \frac{s_{F_{t/s}}^2}{F_{t/s}^2} } } $$ Standard deviations for type B evaluations Standard deviations for the type B components are summarized here. For a complete explanation, see the publication (Ehrstein and Croarkin). Electrical measurements There are two basic sources of uncertainty for the electrical measurements. The first is the
