Propagation of error in precise levelling and its bearing on the assessment of recent crustal movements
Abstract Inference from repeated levellings regarding recent crustal movements is discussed in connection with the assessment of indications of local vertical movements and regional tilts. The recommended procedure of evaluating the propagation of error in large levelling networks is given together with the system of statistical tests leading to the determination of the level of significance of apparent changes in height. A practical example is analysed to show that when the changes are too small to be individually significant the probabilities of uplift and subsidence can be combined to indicate the most probable trend. Another example illustrates the testing of the possible influence of outlying differences on conclusions drawn from the comparison of repeated levellings in search of indications of gradual tilting.
