ErrorIntegral.C File Reference

Detailed Description

View in nbviewer Open in SWAN Estimate the error in the integral of a fitted function taking into account the errors in the parameters resulting from the fit.

The error is estimated also using the correlations values obtained from the fit

run the macro doing:
