Error distribution
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005468
The probability distribution that describes the occurrence of errors in a set of measurements or model predictions. It characterizes how frequently different magnitudes of errors are observed, often centering around zero for unbiased systems. Common forms include the normal distribution for random errors or skewed distributions for systematic biases.
