error distribution
The probability distribution of random errors, typically a normal distribution with a zero mean; that is, where v is the random error, and σ is the standard deviation of v (in this connection, σ is commonly called the standard error); f(v) denotes the error distribution (
or normal curve of error).
or normal curve of error).
