| Nov 14, 2012 at 21:12 | comment | added | mmacx | [cont] After reading your answer for half a dozen times, I am still not sure I completely understand where I was going wrong, but I'll keep trying to figure it out. My mind is doing backflips right now, thank you :) | |
| Nov 14, 2012 at 21:11 | comment | added | mmacx | Wow, firstly, I want to thank you for this answer. I am humbled by the effort you invested in writing this, let alone figuring it out. Secondly, as you might have guessed already, I will need some time to digest everything you wrote. Thirdly, now I think I understand where I was wrong while considering this problem. All this time I thought that the observed ships' positions were exactly at the position of their means. Furthermore, I thought that that is how the means are defined in terms of positioning systems. I just figured that the observed position is the center of the error circle. [cont] | |
