Measurement errors and their division, two and multidimensional errors. Measurement properties, characteristics of random variables. Probability distributions. Law of accumulation of real errors, standard deviations. Characteristics of precision. Equalization of measurements. Least squares method (equating measurements of intermediate, conditional, intermediate with conditions). Alignment of bound and free geodetic grids. Regression and correlation analysis - linear regression. Basics of statistical hypothesis testing.
