Underestimating the uncertainty of aggregated results: the case of W-Boson mass
Abstract Estimates of uncertainty or variance in experimental means are central to physics. This is especially the case for ‘world averages’ of fundamental parameters in particle physics, which aggregate results from a number of experiments to express current knowledge about these parameters and whe...
