| May 8, 2014 at 21:25 | comment | added | Glen_b | It depends on what you want to measure. if you want to measure how consistent the GPS readings are, you might use a standard deviation. If you want to measure how close they are to the know answer, you might use the RMSE (from the known value). If you do that, note that your denominator should be n, not n-1. | |
