I’m calculating a discrete integral from distinct water-flow measurements. That means I have a few thousand data values in liter/second and I calculate from them the totally flown water in liter. The accuracy of the data is +/- 0.5 liter and I get one value every 5 seconds. The total time of measurement is about 3 hours. The water is coming in bunches of about 25 liters in a duration of 30 seconds to about 3 minutes. Between these flows there’s no water, so the accuracy is 100% then.
- First question: how will the error propagate?
- Second question: what’s the best way to analyze this data?
- Third question: should we change the meters?
