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
