Hi
Error bars works a little differently, as they indicate with some probability
(say 1-sigma) within which range the real value is.
By the way, sqrt(N) is not very accurate estimator.
But it is a common way to express the fact that your data is unlikely to
converge any faster than sqrt(N)…
Yes, but it gives you false hope of how quickly it really converged, as the
cross-correlations make you converge even slower than sqrt(N).
Except that management would really like it to converge as N …
I bet they do, until you explain to them the consequence of that... with
over-optimistic numbers making the product look bad when it hits reality
and smearing the trust in the company and product names...
There is a certain art to potty-train management.
Cheers,
Magnus
