In statistics, propagation of errors or propagation of uncertainty is the effect of variables' errors or uncertainties on the uncertainty of a function based on them. When the variables are the values of experimental measurements they have uncertainties due to measurement limitations (e.g., instrument precision) which propagate to the combination of variables in the function.
