Error Ellipse:
• After completing the least- square adjustment, the estimated standard deviations in coordinates of an adjusted station can be calculated from covariance matrix elements.
• These standard deviations provide error estimate in the reference axes direction.
• The graphical representation, they are half the dimension of a standard error rectangle centered at each point. The standard error rectangle has dimensions of 2Sx by 2Sy
• This is not true representation of the error present at the station

when ρ is zero (no correlation between x and y)the axes of the ellipse lie along the x and y axes.
The random variable X and Y which are in general correlated can be transformed to uncorrelated random variables by the rotation of x and y axes through the
angle ψ to coincide with the axes of the ellipse.

The usual case the position of a station is uncertain in both direction and distance.
• The estimated error of the adjusted station therefore involves the errors of two jointly distribution variables (x and y coordinates).
• Thus it follows the Bivariate Normal Distribution(BND).
• The figure above shows a contour plot of the BND.
• To describe the estimated error of a station fully, it is necessary to show the orientation and lengths of the semi axes of the error ellipse.

• The orientation of the ellipse depends upon the t angle which fixes the directions of the auxiliary, orthogonal (u,v) axes along which the elipses axes lie.
• The u axis defines the weakest direction in which the station’s adjusted position is known.
• It lies in the direction not maximum expected error in the station’s coordinates.
• The v axis is orthogonal to u and defines the strongest direction in which the station’s position is known or the direction of minimum error.
• For any station, the value of t that orients the ellipse to provide these maximum and minimum values can be determined after the adjustment from the elements of the covariance matrix.
