Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-008623
A measure of the accuracy of an analytical result, expressed as the absolute relative error multiplied by 100. It quantifies the difference between a measured value and the true or accepted value, relative to the true value. A lower percentage relative error indicates higher accuracy in the measurement.
