TABLE II.

Linear Distances (LDs) for Which Error Due to Digitization is Greater Than 5% of the Total Variance Across all Scans and all Subjects

Columns 2, 3, and 4 show the mean squared error (MS) values for each error term. Column 5 shows the percentage of the total error that is due to digitization. For all LDs, between-subject variance was significantly greater than within-subject error variance (α=0.01). Landmark names are keyed to Table I and Figure 2.
