[cs/0606103] Precision Arithmetic: A New Floating-Point Arithmetic
"A new floating-point arithmetic called precision arithmetic is developed to track precision for arithmetic calculations. It uses a novel rounding scheme to avoid excessive rounding error propagation of conventional floating-point arithmetic. Unlike interval arithmetic, its uncertainty tracking is based on statistics and its bounding range is much tighter. Generic standards and systematic methods for validating uncertainty-bearing arithmetics are discussed. The precision arithmetic is found to be better than interval arithmetic in uncertainty-tracking for linear algorithms. "
