Previous: What is the difference
Well, a lot more detail would be getting a bit off topic...
but here are some references and links if you want more information:
- A basic tutorial
- Another link with introductory error analysis
- Data Reduction and Error Analysis for the Physical Sciences, by P. R. Bevington and D. K. Robinson: this one is a classic, and I recommend it as a general reference. If you get one book on error analysis, get this one. Watch out for typos, though, even in the second edition.
- An Introduction to Error Analysis, by John R. Taylor: Another classic, at a somewhat more elementary level than Bevington & Robinson. This is a good one to go through if you feel you lack background.
- I teach a mini-course on error analysis
occasionally.
For the purpose of this course, the basic no-correlation error propagation formula is the most important thing to know.
