A least-squares-based method for determining the ratio between two measured quantities

A numerical procedure to find the ratio between two measured quantities is discussed in the framework of the least-squares method with errors in both coordinates. Constant, as well as variable, amounts of statistical uncertainties are considered for each variable along their measured range. Analytic...
