I always have students calibrate the various components of our metabolic cart (e.g., mass air flow meter, O2 analyzer, CO2 analyzer). However, I am not sure what the total error of measurement is for final measurements such as VO2, VCO2, R, etc. I'd like to present a method to my students that would allow them to calculate the propagation of error for any complex measurement they might make in lab.
