... The fitting package in STSDAS (Space Telescope Science Data Analysis System) relies on two basic techniques (one linear and one non-linear) for fitting functions to data. ... Results show that both methods may generate biased coefficients (at the ~few percent level), and over or under-estimate error bars (at the ~10 percent level), in particular from low signal-to-noise data. ... Function coefficient errors are computed directly from the covariance matrix. ... Abscissa is signal-to-noise. ...

For a sample of 16 people, the error would be 4/16 = 25%. This a large error since the range of YES vs NO is from 0-100% if 12 people answered yes and 4 people answered no then your result would be: . Percentage yes = 75 +/- 25% . ... For a sample fo 1000 people, the error would be SQRT(1000)/1000 = 33/1000 = 3%. If 750 answered yes and 250 answered no then your result would be: . ... Conclusion: Always ask what the measuring errors are!! Previous Lecture Next Lecture Course Page ...
