Error bar for the measure #76

Open paul-cares opened 1 year ago

Hi,

I need to store the error bar values for individual data points. The only thing related to the error I found are the set of 10-percentile through 90-percentile. But the data points are often given simply as value +/- error bar.

Did you consider adding to the OM:measure, for example, hasAbsErrorBar and/or hasRelErrorBar where AbsErrorBar could be the absolute value of the error, and RelErrorBar = AbsErrorBar/numericalValue.

Thanks!

Hi Paul, Thanx! We are considering uncertainty in general; it can have many appearances. See https://github.com/HajoRijgersberg/OM/issues/52. If I understand correctly, a link to will now be automatically generated in issue 52 to this current issue (issue 76), so we will not forget about error as well, very relevant! Best, Hajo
