Propagation of uncertainty : ウィキペディア英語版
Propagation of uncertainty
:''For the propagation of uncertainty through time, see Chaos theory#Sensitivity to initial conditions.''
In statistics, propagation of uncertainty (or propagation of error) is the effect of variables' uncertainties (or errors) on the uncertainty of a function based on them. When the variables are the values of experimental measurements they have uncertainties due to measurement limitations (e.g., instrument precision) which propagate to the combination of variables in the function.
The uncertainty is usually defined by the absolute error . Uncertainties can also be defined by the relative error , which is usually written as a percentage.
Most commonly, the error on a quantity, , is given as the standard deviation, . Standard deviation is the positive square root of variance, . The value of a quantity and its error are often expressed as an interval . If the statistical probability distribution of the variable is known or can be assumed, it is possible to derive confidence limits to describe the region within which the true value of the variable may be found. For example, the 68% confidence limits for a one-dimensional variable belonging to a normal distribution are ± one standard deviation from the value, that is, there is approximately a 68% probability that the true value lies in the region .
If the variables are correlated, then covariance must be taken into account.
==Linear combinations==
Let \ be a set of ''m'' functions which are linear combinations of n variables x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n with combination coefficients A_,A_,\dots,A_, (k=1\dots m).
:f_k=\sum_i^n A_ x_i or \mathrm=\mathrm\,
and let the variance-covariance matrix on x be denoted by \mathrm\,.
:\mathrm =
\begin
\sigma^2_1 & \sigma_ & \sigma_ & \cdots \\
\sigma_ & \sigma^2_2 & \sigma_ & \cdots\\
\sigma_ & \sigma_ & \sigma^2_3 & \cdots \\
\vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \ddots \\
\end =
\begin
\mathit^x_1 & \mathit^x_ & \mathit^x_ & \cdots \\
\mathit^x_ & \mathit^x_2 & \mathit^x_ & \cdots\\
\mathit^x_ & \mathit^x_ & \mathit^x_3 & \cdots \\
\vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \ddots \\
\end

Then, the variance-covariance matrix \mathrm\, of ''f'' is given by
:\mathit^f_= \sum_k^n \sum_\ell^n A_ \mathit^x_ A_: \mathrm.
This is the most general expression for the propagation of error from one set of variables onto another. When the errors on ''x'' are uncorrelated the general expression simplifies to
:\mathit^f_= \sum_k^n A_ \mathit^x_k A_.
where \mathit^x_k = \sigma^2_ is the variance of ''k''-th element of the ''x'' vector.
Note that even though the errors on ''x'' may be uncorrelated, the errors on ''f'' are in general correlated; in other words, even if \mathrm is a diagonal matrix, \mathrm is in general a full matrix.
The general expressions for a scalar-valued function, ''f'', are a little simpler.
:f=\sum_i^n a_i x_i: f=\mathrm\,
:\sigma^2_f= \sum_i^n \sum_j^n a_i \mathit^x_ a_j= \mathrm
(where a is a row-vector).
Each covariance term, \sigma_ can be expressed in terms of the correlation coefficient \rho_\, by \sigma_=\rho_\sigma_i\sigma_j\,, so that an alternative expression for the variance of ''f'' is
:\sigma^2_f= \sum_i^n a_i^2\sigma^2_i+\sum_i^n \sum_^n a_i a_j\rho_ \sigma_i\sigma_j.
In the case that the variables in ''x'' are uncorrelated this simplifies further to
:\sigma^_= \sum_i^n a_^\sigma^_.
In the simplest case of identical coefficients and variances, we find
:\sigma_= \sqrt a \sigma.
