Identifying and quantifying errors in catalysis involves several steps:
Repeatability and Reproducibility Conducting multiple experiments under identical conditions helps assess the repeatability and reproducibility of results. Significant deviations indicate the presence of errors.
Statistical Analysis Using statistical methods such as standard deviation, confidence intervals, and error propagation can quantify the uncertainties in measurements and results.
Control Experiments Performing control experiments with known standards helps identify systematic errors by comparing the experimental outcomes with expected results.
Calibration and Validation Regular calibration of instruments and validation of experimental methods ensure the accuracy and reliability of data.
