Hello! I have some experimental data points ##(z_i,dz_i)## and I know that in the most general case this variable can be written in terms of 2 other variables as ##z_i = ay_i+bx_i##. Beside ##z_i## I can also measure, for each point, ##x_i## (we can assume that the uncertainty in ##x_i## is negligible), but not ##y_i##. I suspect, based on some calculations, that (at least at the level of the experimental uncertainties, ##dz_i##) the ##bx_i## term will be negligible i.e. ##b\sim 0## given my uncertainties. Is there a way to test this experimentally, given my current data and the expected functional form? Thank you!
