error

Mathematics
  • Let x be an approximation to a value X. According to some authors, the error is Xx; for example, when 1.9 is used as an approximation for 1.875, the error equals −0.025. Others define the error to be xX. Whichever of these definitions is used, the error can be positive or negative. Yet other authors define the error to be |Xx|, the difference between the true value and the approximation, in which case the error is always non-negative. When contrasted with relative error, the error may be called the absolute error.


Chemical Engineering
  • 1. The difference between a measured or indicated value and the expected or true value. The error can be used to control a system or process while statistical error can be used as a measure of uncertainty. For example, reading the level of liquid in a vertical glass manometric leg used to measure the pressure in a process may only be possible to the nearest 1 mm. A level of 30 cm should therefore be written as 30 ±0.1 cm, which means a level of between 29.9 and 30.1 cm. Random error is a form of error that can neither be predicted nor accounted. Systematic error is due to a fault that requires correcting. For example, a thermometer that reads 10°C less than the actual temperature means that all recorded temperatures are 10°C less than the correct value. Human error, blunders, and mistakes can lead to disastrous consequences.

    2. Used in process control of process, the error is the difference between a desired or set point value and the actual and controlled process variable. The control of a process aims to minimize the error. Various forms of process control strategies are used to achieve this. See process control


Computer
  • 1. The difference between a computed, observed, or measured value or condition and the true, specified, or theoretically correct value or condition.

    2. An incorrect result resulting from some failure in the hardware of a system.

    3. An incorrect step, process, or data definition in for example a program. See also semantic error, syntax error.


Electronics and Electrical Engineering
  • See absolute error.


Biology
  • Incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis of no effect when it is true (type I error) or failing to reject the null hypothesis when it is false (type II error). See significance.
