- TL;DR Summary
- RMS; RSS
Hi,
the following statement comes from a document of Keysight spectrum analyzer:
The sources of uncertainty can be considered independent variables, so it is likely that some errors will be positive while others will be negative. Therefore, a common practice is to calculate the root sum of squares (RSS) error.
Question: What happens if RMS instead of RSS is used to characterize uncertainty? The only difference between RMS and RSS is a √1/n before RMS.
