Estimating Uncertainty in BLR and PDV Analysis

Uncertainty is an important part of experimental measurements, and the uncertainties associated with time-frequency analysis can be difficult to unravel. We review previous work in this area and extend those results to produce specific and reliable estimates of uncertainty arising within the analysis of PDV and BLR data. We take into account factors such as windowing functions and amplitude modulation and create an expression that could be incorporated into analysis codes for point-by-point uncertainty estimates.
