Poisson Error Q: Can I Add Errors in Quadrature?

[QUOTE="BvU, post: 6242350, member: 499340"] Hi, With numbers like that you can ignore the error in the fitted parameters: you shouldn't quote 100 ##\pm## 10.2 because your estimate has no decimals ##\rightarrow## your error estimate doesn't either. If the fit is a lot less accurate, say with an error of 10, then yes, I would add in quadrature if I only had to report ##y(x_0)##. If I had to erport a series of ##y(x_i)##, I would keep the fit error separated (it's a systematic error). [/QUOTE]
