| Nov 12, 2020 at 17:29 | comment | added | Sextus Empiricus | @J.Kuiper could you provide a plot and explain what these points/lines mean. | |
| Nov 12, 2020 at 17:18 | comment | added | J.Kuiper | the problem is, i don.t have an better discription of a,b,c. I have an list of points C with given variance, I have an list of lines with starting point A and End point B. those points are points on a (inaccurate) map. i don,t have any more information about those points | |
| Nov 12, 2020 at 15:09 | comment | added | Sextus Empiricus | @J.Kuiper aren't you accepting this answer prematurely? The answer explains why the type of distributions of the distance can vary a lot for the given problem setup, but I can imagine that it is possible to describe it more precisely and some approximations might be possible if you would have better descriptions of the distributions of the points a, b and c. | |

| Nov 12, 2020 at 12:53 | comment | added | Sextus Empiricus | @J.Kuiper I am afraid that these pieces of information are not enough to make the problem simpler. | |
| Nov 12, 2020 at 12:51 | comment | added | J.Kuiper | Also there is one thing i forgot. the x and y coordinates of A and B are not equal. it is possible that a C=A or C=B | |
| Nov 12, 2020 at 7:29 | comment | added | J.Kuiper | the only thing i know is that c has a small distribution. A and B can be different. is there an easy solution of A en B use an equal variance? | |
