For the Monte-Carlo simulation, the cocked hats lie in 100,000 places and are 100,000 different sizes. Each bias case is based on 100,000 runs. The constant bias is added to each of the three different random errors. This moves all three LOP toward or away from the center of the cocked hat by the same amount. It changes the size of the cocked hat, but not its center. If the bias is large and sd is small, the lines can move "across" the center. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to NavList@fer3.com To , send email to NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
