error of a measurement
31error bar — noun A bar used on a graphs to indicate the range of one standard deviation in the result of an experimental measurement …
32error — 1. A defect in structure or function. 2. In biostatistics : 1) a mistaken decision, as in hypothesis testing or classification by a discriminant function; 2) the difference between the true value and the observed …
33Quantum error correction — is used in quantum computing to protect quantum information from errors due to decoherence and other quantum noise. Quantum error correction is essential if one is to achieve fault tolerant quantum computation that can deal not only with noise on …
34random error — indefiniteness or error in a measurement process that varies unsystematically or unpredictably from measurement to measurement; its magnitude may be quantifiable by statistical methods …
35Doppler error — In using Doppler radar, the error in the measurement of target radial velocities as a result of atmospheric refraction. These errors result, first, from the assumption of a constant wave velocity for a nonhomogeneous atmosphere and, second, the… …
36systematic error — reproducible inaccuracy; error in a measurement process that is predictable or in the same direction in all measurements; it may not be detectable by statistical methods. Called also bias …
37Measurement error — Errors in measuring an explanatory variable in a regression that leads to biases in estimated parameters. The New York Times Financial Glossary …
38measurement error — Errors in measuring an explanatory variable in a regression, which leads to biases in estimated parameters . Bloomberg Financial Dictionary …
39measurement error — See coding ; …
40Systematic error — Systematic errors are biases in measurement which lead to the situation where the mean of many separate measurements differs significantly from the actual value of the measured attribute. All measurements are prone to systematic errors, often of… …
