- Error Analysis Using the Variance-Covariance Matrix
  Carl Salter
  Journal of Chemical Education2000 77 (9), 1239
  The variance-covariance matrix for a linear fit to y = b + mx is defined, and its use in computing the errors for derived quantities from the fit is illustrated. The matrix formalism is used to derive analytical expressions for the vertical and horizontal ...
