PHYS 310 - Experimental Physics Uncertainty Estimation |
This data comes from twenty experiments nominally measuring the same physical quantity. The data for each point is on a single line in the file. The first number on each line is the value of the measured quantity, and the second is the uncertainty in the this measurement.
Data for an experiment in which there is a suspected linear relationship between measured values of $x$ and $y$. The data for each point is on a single line in the file. The first number on each line is the value of $x$, the second is the value of $y$, and the third is the uncertainty in $y$. Uncertainties in $x$ are assumed to be negligible.
For the data in this set, there is reason to believe that that $x$ and $y$ are related by a function of the form $y = a_1 \sin(2\pi x) + a_2\sin(4\pi x)$. The data for each point is on a single line in the file. The first number on each line is the value of $x$, the second is the value of $y$, and the third is the uncertainty in $y$. Uncertainties in $x$ are assumed to be negligible.
