[en] Analysis of the results of a data reconciliation program is made easier by extracting more information from the Jacobian matrix of the constraint equations. Standard deviation for all state variables (measured or not measured) is related to the standard deviation of measurements. Distinction between variables that are actually corrected by the validation process, and those that are merely derived from a single measurement is straightforward. Based on this information, decisions can be taken : deletion of unnecessary measurements, addition of new measurement points and their optimal selection, or identification of key measurements for which any enhancement of accuracy would result in significant improvement in the quality of the process validation.
