What's the contribution to the chi squared when this is true? Calculate it, please. Would you not need errors of 0.01 or less? Do you know what a standard deviation is? Given a residual mass difference that disagrees with your binning by 0.1 M_sun, with an error in the measurement of 0.03 M_sun, it can be said that there is a 3 standard deviation disagreement with the predicted binning. You continue to labor under the notion that percentage based representations of error are more accurate. You need to knock that off. It is wrong. Are systematic errors accounted for? What systematic errors? You seem to frequently invoke "systematic errors" without ever bothering, even upon direct request, to explain what you imagine they might be. How much error can sin(i) and sin^3 (i) introduce into mass calculatuons? Thanks, RLO This is something you should be able to answer yourself. Did you ever learn how to propagate error? I have a better idea. Instead of complaining about unknown systematics, discuss the results rather than pretending they don't exist. |
