random error[′ran·dəm ′er·ər] (statistics) An error that can be predicted only on a statistical basis. random error
random errorThe patternless differences observed between successive analytical results or statistical trials. Even though the individual results are patternless and unpredictable, the range of random error can be predicted with a given probability once sufficient experience has been gained. The random error is then quantified by the standard deviation, the coefficient of variation, and other statistics. See: measurement error; systematic errorSee also: error |
