    The GPS makes corrections for receiver clock errors and other effects but there are still residual errors which are not corrected. GPS receiver position is computed based on data received from the satellites. Errors depend on geometric dilution of precision and the sources listed in the table below.

  4. Standard error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_error

    For correlated random variables the sample variance needs to be computed according to the Markov chain central limit theorem.. Independent and identically distributed random variables with random sample size

  5. Circular error probable - Wikipedia

    Munitions may also have larger standard deviation of range errors than the standard deviation of azimuth (deflection) errors, resulting in an elliptical confidence region. Munition samples may not be exactly on target, that is, the mean vector will not be (0,0). This is referred to as bias.

    In the last year, statistics have been unusually important in the news. How accurate is the COVID-19 test you or others are using? How do researchers know the effectiveness of new therapeutics for ...

  7. Errors and residuals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errors_and_residuals

    where ¯ represents the errors, represents the sample standard deviation for a sample of size n, and unknown σ, and the denominator term / accounts for the standard deviation of the errors according to:

  8. Accuracy and precision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_and_precision

    Accuracy is how close a given set of measurements ( observations or readings) are to their true value . Precision is how close the measurements are to each other. In other words: Precision is a description of random errors (a measure of statistical variability ). Accuracy has two definitions, per ISO: [1]

  9. Sample size determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination

    Sample size determination or estimation is the act of choosing the number of observations or replicates to include in a statistical sample. The sample size is an important feature of any empirical study in which the goal is to make inferences about a population from a sample. In practice, the sample size used in a study is usually determined ...
