1. In general the limiting errors of a single measurement are calculated as the product of the standard deviation of a single measurement in a series and a number t, whole or fractional ... 2. The above definition of limiting errors assumes that the results have been corrected for systematic errors; these limiting errors will however include the "residuals" of these systematic errors. 3. The probability P corresponds to the statistical term "confidence level" and the limiting errors to the term "confidence limits. 1, record 2, English, - limiting%20errors%20of%20a%20single%20measurement%20in%20a%20series

Remarques : 1. On calcule en général les erreurs limites d’un seul mesurage comme le produit de l'écart moyen quadratique d’un seul mesurage d’une série par un nombre t(entier ou fractionnaire) ;on a alors :[...] où s est défini selon [...] et le nombre 1 est fixé en fonction de la probabilité P de ne pas dépasser les valeurs [...] Dans le cas de la loi de la distribution normale des erreurs et pour un suffisamment grand nombre de mesurages, on pose souvent t=3, ce qui correspond à la probabilité P=99, 73 % de ne pas dépasser dans la série de mesurages les valeurs [...] pour P=95 %, on a t=1, 96 et pour P=99 %, on a t=2, 58 [...] 2. La définition ci-dessus des erreurs limites suppose que l'on a corrigé le résultat des erreurs systématiques; ces erreurs limites contiendront cependant encore les «résidus» de ces erreurs systématiques. 3. La probabilité P correspond au terme statistique «niveau de confiance», et les erreurs limites au terme «limites de confiance». 1, record 2, French, - erreurs%20limites%20d%27un%20seul%20mesurage%20d%27une%20s%C3%A9rie

La notion de bassin de vie est opérationnalisée avec le concept de ZPIU [zone de peuplement industriel ou urbain] de l'INSEE [Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques] : une ZPIU est l'aire d’attraction d’une ville. Elle comprend une agglomération principale(elle-même décomposée en ville-centre et banlieue) et des communes situées dans l'aire d’attraction de cette agglomération, qui peuvent être des communes rurales, des petites villes ou des agglomérations secondaires. L'INSEE a découpé le territoire français au recensement de 1990 en une partie dite «rurale profonde», à l'écart de toute urbanisation(25 % du territoire, 3 % de la population et 602 «ZPIU» rassemblant 97 % de la population sur 75 % du territoire. 2, record 5, French, - agglom%C3%A9ration%20principale

Radial Standard Deviation (RSD) is a statistical measure of dispersion, defined as the square root of the total sum of squares of the deviations in the x and y directions from their respective sample means, divided by the number of points of impact.
