Andres:
I don't understand - that terminology is foreign to me.
Is there a description of both and of their difference?
Do you have, or can make up, cases for one and/or
the other?
All I wanted is a histogram of the absolute distance , prob(|d|) = f(|d|) or,
in other words, the PDF of that *absolute distance* of the fix - not the fix's
coordinates; again: azimuth does not matter.
I made up that SAN Diego convention scenario which I hope got a little of your attention.
It poses two simple questions created to illuminate . my quest.
Thank you, and regards!

Hanno and Karl,
IMHO both are right. Two sides of the same coin.
- One is a simulation based in a model without navigational data,
- and the other is a probabilistic treatment of the navigational problem.
Like in FEM, the model must be validate against real observed data.
For the second way, the confidence ellipse is obtained using the covariance matrix of the system of equations.
