Progression of errors in morphometry. Estimation of particle number density.
We have developed procedures whereby the progression of errors in various methods of morphometric data extrapolation may be evaluated. The analysis is straightforward and simple. We suggest that before collecting data, one should estimate the accepted fluctuations of the various parameters. Then, by calculation of propagation of errors, the most suitable method may be chosen, so that the data extracted will have an acceptable coefficient of variation. Higher precision carries a cost of time and/or money, and may not be necessary.
