Meaningful Numbers and “Significant Figures”
The concept of significant digits is often used in connection with rounding. Rounding to n significant digits is a more general-purpose technique than rounding to n decimal places, since it handles numbers of different scales in a uniform way. For example, the population of a city might only be known to the nearest thousand and be stated as 52,000, while the population of a country might only b...
متن کاملSignificant Error Propagation in the Finite Difference Solution of Non-Linear Magnetostatic Problems Utilizing Boundary Condition of the Third Kind
This paper poses two magnetostatic problems in cylindrical coordinates with different permeabilities for each region. In the first problem the boundary condition of the second kind is used while in the second one, the boundary condition of the third kind is utilized. These problems are solved using the finite element and finite difference methods. In second problem, the results of the finite di...

متن کاملStatistical uncertainty and error propagation
This lecture is about some of the basics of uncertainty: the use of variances and covariances to express statistical uncertainty (“error bars”, error ellipses); we are concentrating on the uncertainties of geographic co-ordinates. This makes it necessary to talk about geodetic datums – alternative ways of fixing the starting point(s) used for fixing geodetic co-ordinates in a network solution. ...
متن کاملUniversal Error Propagation Law
As an ubiquitous statistical theory, Gaussian Distribution (GD) or Gaussian Error Propagation Law (GEPL) has been widely used for modelling random errors in many engineering and application fields since 1809. In recent years, this theory has been extended to handle the uncertainties of spatial data in GIS, such as positional error modelling. But most of the results for spatial error modelling b...
