- There are
total events and N fall into bin 
.
- Now we can apply
theorem from end of Section 2,
- and it is not hard to show that f and g separately have
counting errors
,
- but they are correlated and correlation cancels counting errors,
so that
has identical error formula to standard moment
method.
- (The estimate of
will involve counting error, of course).
