Re: [office] Proposal: Error bar category standard-error
"Standard
error (standard deviation of the mean) of a data series assuming an equal
distribution"

I believe "assuming a normal distribution"
is the typical wording.  In that case the standard error =  StandardDeviation/Sqrt(N)

[office] Proposal: Error bar category
standard-error

Hi,

while implementing the ODF 1.2 enhancements for the error category of 

business charts, OOo Chart's developer Bj顤n Milcke noticed that one 

value in the "choice" for the chart:error-category is missing:
the 

standard-error. It's a reasonable value, that some applications do 

support already.

He therefore proposed the following small enhancement:

In chapter "16.33.2 Error Category" add the following value to
the 

choices for the error-category:

[..]

* Standard error (standard deviation of the mean) of a data series

  assuming an equal distribution

[..]

<define name="style-chart-properties-attlist" combine="interleave">

<optional>

   <attribute name="chart:error-category" a:defaultValue="none">

     <choice>

        <value>none</value>

        <value>variance</value>

        <value>standard-deviation</value>

        <value>percentage</value>

        <value>error-margin</value>

        <value>constant</value>

* new * <value>standard-error</value>

        <value>cell-range</value>

     </choice>

   </attribute>

</optional>

</define>

Best regards

Michael
