However, a terminological difference arises in the expression mean squared error (MSE). The mean squared error of a regression is a number computed from the sum of squares of the computed residuals, and not of the unobservable errors. If that sum of squares is divided by n, the number of observations, the result is the mean of the squared residuals.
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Heisenberg, a German scientist stated the principle of uncertainty which is a consequence of dual nature of matter and waves. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to find the position and momentum (velocity) of an electron at the same moment. Mathematical representation of this is as follows: \( \triangle x Ã \triangle v_x \geq \frac{h}{4\pi m}\)
In metrology, measurement uncertainty is a non-negative parameter characterizing the dispersion of the values attributed to a measured quantity. The uncertainty has a probabilistic basis and reflects incomplete knowledge of the quantity. All measurements are subject to uncertainty and a measured value is only complete if it is accompanied by a statement of the associated uncertainty. Relative uncertainty is the measurement uncertainty divided by the measured value.
