Self Study: Least Squares 4

Statistic & Error Ellipses

The following traverse was adjusted by least squares to determine the coordinates of points G and H.

Final coordinates of G and H are:

Matrices from the final iteration of the adjustment are:

Compute:

(a) Expected uncertainties of the adjusted coordinates.

(b) Adjusted observations.

(c) Parameters of the standard and 95% CI error ellipsii at each adjusted point.
