Sentences with phrase «laboratory measurement error»

Let us simplify the problem further and assume that the lab can estimate the RC age on a sample (given an assumed initial mass fraction) with negligible error, and then consider how we generate the probability distribution for calendar date even when we have no laboratory measurement error to take into account.

Adding a circular fiber to the fiber train further increases the scrambling gain to $ > $ 20,000, limited by laboratory measurement error.

Not exact matches

The rms average measurement error in McCrae's method, of (+ / --RRB- 1.8 C, emerged under ideal laboratory conditions, where the water temperature was independently determined and the marine O18 fraction was directly measured.

An error - free laboratory measurement of modern fraction does not imply that the problem collapses into a deterministic look - up from the calibration curve — even if the curve is monotonic over the relevant calendar interval — because the curve itself carries uncertainty in the form of the variance related to the conditional probability of RC age for a given calendar date.
