Evaluating Uncertainty of Microwave Calibrations with Regression Residuals

June 6, 2020
Author(s)
Dylan F. Williams, Benjamin F. Jamroz, Jake D. Rezac, Robert D. Jones
We present a sensitivity-analysis and a Monte-Carlo algorithm for evaluating the uncertainty of multivariate microwave calibration models with regression residuals. We then use synthetic data to verify the performance of the algorithms and explore their
