effect of variables' uncertainties (or errors, more specifically random errors) on the uncertainty of a function based on them

statistical procedure whose results are evaluated by reference to the chi-square distribution

method in statistics

statistical test of whether two populations have equal means

approximating an arbitrary function with a well-behaved one
