Introduction to Least Squares Adjustments with STAR*NETBy Dr. Joshua Greenfeld Surveying Program Coordinator NJ Institute of Technology.
Intro to LS with Star*Net
(c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld
1
ObjectiveLeast Squares is known to be the most appropriate method for adjusting and analyzing surveying measurements. This statement is correct only if the measurements and their accuracies have been examined and assessed carefully prior to performing the adjustments. STAR*NET is a prevalent Least Squares adjustment software. As with any software, one has to understand what the program does, how it does it and how to evaluate or assess the quality of the results it produces.Intro to LS with Star*Net (c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 2

ObjectiveThe objective of the seminar is to provide an in-depth understanding of the theoretical and practical aspect of measurement adjustment with STAR*NET. It will introduce the Least Squares concept, error theory, error estimation terminology and statistical analysis of the results as it pertains to STAR*NET. The seminar will include an overview of the software, problem solving examples and a discussion on how it should be used to obtain honest results. Seminar attendants are encouraged to bring their own laptops loaded with STAR*NET. A demo copy of STAR*NET can be downloaded from http://www-ec.njit.edu/surveying/goodies.htm Intro to LS with Star*Net(c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 3

STAR*NET The STAR*NET program is a general purpose, rigorous least squares analysis program designed to adjust 2D and 3D survey networks. Its 2D inputs include horizontal angles, horizontal distances, directions, azimuths or bearings, and station coordinates. In a 3D adjustment, slope distances, zenith angles, elevation differences and station elevations can also be input. In addition, GPS vectors can be input together with traditional surveying measurements.Intro to LS with Star*Net (c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 5
STAR*NETThe output consists of: A file of adjusted station coordinates and a statistical analysis of the adjustment. Graphical facilities are provided to allow the user to plot the network, including error ellipses of the adjusted points and relative error ellipses between stations.

STAR*NET One of the main features of STAR*NET is the capacity to weight all input data both independently or by category. This means that data can be defined as being FREE or FIXED and anything in between. Giving accurately known measurements more weight than those measurements known to be less accurate is a fundamental principle on which Least Squares is based. The ability to control the weighting of data provides the user with a powerful adjustment tool.Intro to LS with Star*Net (c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 7

Definition: Given independent variables each with an uncertainty, error propagation is the method of determining an uncertainty in a function of these variables. Error propagation is the evaluation of errors in computed quantities as a function of the errors in our measurements or known errors from previous computations. Examples: Computed errors Measurement or given Errors Ex, Ey Angular and distance Earea CoordinatesIntro to LS with Star*Net (c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 16
Error Propagation

Error Propagation Error propagation is a way of combining two or more random errors together to get a third. It can be used when you need to measure more than one quantity to get at your final result. For example, an angle and a distance to compute coordinates Error propagation can also be used to combine several independent sources of random error on the same measurement.Intro to LS with Star*Net (c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 17
Examples:(a) Random error of a sum If y = x1 + x2 + x3 +2
...
+ xn2 2
Then y = x1 + x2 + x3 + + xn2
A leveling loop was measured with the following accuracies: H1 = 12.34 0.01 H2 = -8.72 0.02 H3 = 4.93 0.005 H4 = -8.53 0.01Intro to LS with Star*Net

What is a Covariance?A covariance is a measure of dependency or correlation between two measurements (or computed parameters).
n 1 Where: sxy - Covariance between x and y x,y - A set of two measurementsIntro to LS with Star*Net (c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 44
s xy =
[( x x) ( yi

y )]
22
Covariance If the covariance is equal to 0, the two variables (i.e. measurements) are independent. If the covariance is not equal to 0, the variables have some degree of dependency between them.
How dependent are these variables?

STAR*NET StatisticsResidual StdRes = StdErr Where k is the number of observation of a specific type (Angle, Distance, Bearings, ) Ideally should be equal to 1! A StdRes larger than 3 is flagged with * to indicate potential blunder in observation. The observation with the largest StdRes is not necessarily the erroneous observation!Intro to LS with Star*Net

STAR*NET StatisticsWhere k the number of observation of a specific type (Angle, Distance, Bearings, ) n the total number of observations r the redundancy ErrorFactorType= (StdResType)2 / r * n/k
Error Factors should be roughly equal, and should all approximately be within a range of 0.5 to 1.5. If for example, the Error Factor for angles is equal to 15.7 and that for distances is equal to 2.3, then there is almost certainly a problem the angles.

Locating the Source of ErrorsSome of the major causes of completely failed or poor adjustments are as follows: 1. Incorrect data entry 2. Options set incorrectly 3. For grid jobs, the zone set incorrectly or geoid height not entered properly. 4. Field data collection blunders 5. Incorrect assignment of standard errors to observations 6. Systematic errors in field data - EDM out of calibration, etc. 7. Invalid geometry of the network - 3D point with no vertical observation, etc. 8. Weak network geometryIntro to LS with Star*Net (c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 82
41
Locating the Source of ErrorsIndications of poor or failed adjustment1. Adjustment fails the Chi Square test. 2. Adjustment does not converge within 5 to 10 iterations. 3. Large residuals on observations. 4. Warning messages about Singularities and Geometric Weakness in the solution. 5. Extremely large error ellipses on adjusted points. 6. Fixed stations are showing coordinate changes.Intro to LS with Star*Net (c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 83
Locating the Source of ErrorsSuggested steps to determine the source of adjustment problems.1. Review the Error File, and resolve all errors and warnings that may be present. 2. Check all your option settings. 3. Review the values for any obvious blunders and their standard errors to see if they look reasonable. 4. Run Data Check Only. Review the network graphically with the plot file looking for obvious gaps and blunders in the data.Intro to LS with Star*Net (c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 84

Locating the Source of ErrorsSuggested steps to determine the source of adjustment problems.5. Check that the Angle Station Order and Coordinate Order options are set Correctly 6. Review the Statistical Summary carefully. See whether there is one data type that has a much worse Error Factor than the others. 7. Review the listing of observations and residuals. Look for single residuals that have standardized residuals larger than 3.0 8. Check your input standard errors. Are they reasonable?Intro to LS with Star*Net (c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 85
Locating the Source of ErrorsSuggested steps to determine the source of adjustment problems.9. Run a minimally constrained adjustment. 10.Run the adjustment but restrict it to a single iteration. Look at the changes in coordinates after the first iteration to see which stations seem to be acting strangely. 11.Run the adjustment with the Coordinate Changes each Iteration

Error ellipsesWhen we compute Sx and Sy for a point we actually get a box such as: +Sy -Sx +Sx -Sy This box defined a 68% probability for the error to fall in. Intro to LS with Star*Net(c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld

44
Error ellipsesA more rigorous way to do this is using an ellipse. The ellipse provides us with a Bivariate normal distribution with x = y = 0. The density function of this BivariateNormal distribution is:f ( x, y ) = 1 2 x y2 x y 1 x 2 exp 2 2 1 x y 2(1 ) x

t is rotation angle from Y axis to axis of largest error. U Su is the semi-major axis of semiellipse. (Largest error) u Sv is the semi-minor axis of semiX ellipse. (Least error) v Sx is the standard deviation in X of coordinate x Sy is the standard deviation in Y of coordinate y
The transformation equation between U,V and X,Y is:

Relative Error EllipseRelative error ellipses are computed between two points. X = Xi - Xj Y = Yi - Yj Propagating the variances and covariances of the coordinates of points i and j we get: S2X = S2Xi + S2Xj 2SXi Xj S2Y = S2Yi + S2Yj 2SYi Yj SX y = SXi Yi + SXj Yj SXiYj SXjYi The relative error ellipses are computed as before using the above variances/covarianceIntro to LS with Star*Net (c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 100

x and S2 and covariances are point estimationsbecause they provide a single value for these parameters

Confidence Interval
Confidence Interval is an interval-based estimator. The Need Because we want to know how good these estimations are and how much can we rely on them. In other words, we want to define how much deviation from the estimator is likely, given that the value for and are still unknown.Intro to LS with Star*Net (c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 106

Statistical TestingStatistical testing is used to compare results with previous ones or with given standards. In testing we seek a judgment whether x or S2 are consistent with the assumption (hypothesis) that the sample was drawn from a population with specific parameter values such as N(,). We test a hypothesis about the probability distribution of a random variable.Intro to LS with Star*Net (c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 107
Statistical TestingSimple hypothesis Test when the probability distribution is known i.e. N(,), 2, t, F, etc. Composite hypothesis test when the probability distribution is NOT known or not completely known. Ho Null hypothesis hypothesis of no difference H1 Alternative hypothesis hypothesis of differenceIntro to LS with Star*Net (c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 108
54
Statistical TestingEXAMPLE This is a null hypothesis that the Ho : 1 = o mean 1 from which one sample was drawn is equal (or is not different from) the mean o of a population having a specific mean. H1 : 1 o This is the alternative hypothesis.

Statistical TestingThe Rejection Region. The value for the statistic that indicates rejection of Ho. This is equivalent to the test statistic being outside the confidence interval when constructing confidence intervals.2 > 2 , v t > t , v F > F , v1, v2
Once we have a hypothesis we can make a decision to accept it or to reject it. This decision may be correct or incorrect.Intro to LS with Star*Net (c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 111
Statistical TestingThere are 4 possible outcomes to a hypothesis test Hypothesis is Hypothesis is correct incorrect Correct decision Type II error P = 1- P= (Confidence level) Type I error Correct decision P= P = 1- (Significance (Power of test) level)(c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 112

- the size of the type I error or the probability of a type I error to occur. = P [reject Ho when Ho is true]Intro to LS with Star*Net (c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 113
Statistical Testing is expressed in % which is also called Significance Level of the Test. Common values for are: 5% - significant 1% - highly significant of 5% means that we are willing to risk rejecting ho, when it is correct, 5 times out of 100 trials.Intro to LS with Star*Net (c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 114

Statistical Testing Errors Example1. 2. 3. 4. Population of 10,000 people. Test for flu virus that has 95% confidence level. 9200 test negative for flu 800 test positive. Type I error: people who test positive for flu but do not have it: 800 0.05 = 40 Type II error: people who have flu but test negative for it are: 9200 0.05 = 460 Thus = 460/10,000 = 0.046 or 4.6% Summary: 460 + 40 = 500 people incorrectly test for flu. or 5% of the population.Intro to LS with Star*Net (c) Dr. Joshua Greenfeld 115
