May I can spend a short time to check what does it mean in the regression coefficients if each data has a given relative error. Let's say the relative error approx. 1E-3 (=0.1%) in the engineering practice and we have n measuring points (n=5 ... n=9 typical number of data) what is the relative error of slope and intercept.
