Concept information

Preferred term

error propagation  

Definition(s)

  • Quantitative attribute and geocoded data collection almost certainly entails error that arises from five sources: calculation, measurement, specification, sampling, and stochastic processes. Error propagation may be defined as the transmission of this error from data inputs to output results when performing data manipulations on maps that possess such an error.
