Even if error of a and b are fully independent, stuff like (a+b) and (a-b) would be (anti)correlated. What to do with those? Ignore? --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 03:00, 30 July 2011 (UTC) |

:I purposefully skipped the stats and just extracted some equations; hopefully enough to make an interesting task. I think it might be best to leave such extensions to the individual language implementors and have them make notes in their language entry? |

:I don't want to further expand the task description with talk of correlations unless their omission really offends those in the know. (University was a few decades ago for me and I haven't made much use of the subject since). --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 03:13, 30 July 2011 (UTC) |
