Correct error propagation in GDOS intensity correction #922

Closed MialLewis closed 1 year ago

MialLewis commented 1 year ago

Description of work:

This corrects a bug where errors were simply being summed as if they were absolute. This is not the case, and they need to be added in quadrature.

https://docs.mantidproject.org/v3.7.2/concepts/ErrorPropagation.html

To test:

1). Plot a slice, take a cut where appropriate 2) Correct to GDOS 3) See smaller error bars.
