Description |
A comparison of the data (source) and the control (reference) is calculated in the following manner: 1. Calculate the absolute error in the vertical dimension at each point: δ V i = source V i − reference V i for i = 1 … N 2. Calculate the mean vertical error: | δ V ¯ | = | 1 N ∑ i = 1 N δ V i | 3. Calculate the standard deviation of the vertical errors: σ V = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N δ V i 2 4. Calculate the ratio of the absolute value of the mean error to the standard deviation: ratio = | δ V ¯ | / σ V 5. If ratio > 1 , 4 , then k = 1 , 2815 6. If ratio ≤ 1,4, then calculate k based on the ratio of the vertical bias to the standard deviation of the heights using a cubic polynomial fit through the tabular values as defined in the Handbook of Tables for Probability and Statistics (Reference[ 20 ]). k = 1 , 643 5 − ( 0 , 999 556 × ratio ) + ( 0 , 923 237 × ratio 2 ) − ( 0 , 282 533 × ratio 3 ) 7. Compute LE90 for the source: LE90 source = | δ V ¯ | + ( k × σ V ) 8. Compute absolute LE90: LE90 abs = LE90 reference 2 + LE90 source 2 |
