# Functions for errors from counting statistic
# These are currently not exported, just used for internal calculations.
#
# @param NM is the major isotope
# @param Nm is the minor isotope
#
# - error in measured ion counts:
# - absolute: $\sqrt{N}$
# - relative: $\frac{\sqrt{N}}{N} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{N}}$
# - relative error in measured isotope ratio R (directly from counts or from N_M and ratio):
# - $\frac{\sigma_R}{R} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{N_M} + \frac{1}{N_m}}$
# - $\frac{\sigma_R}{R} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{N_M} \frac{1+R}{R}}$
# - $N_M$ is the total counts of the major ion, $N_m$ the total counts of the minor ion
# - error in $\delta$ (comparing isotope ratios):
# - $\sigma_\delta = \sqrt{2\left(\frac{1}{N_M} + \frac{1}{N_m}\right)} \approx \sqrt{\frac{2}{N_m}}$ since usually $N_m < 10^{-2} N_M$
# - *Note*: for delta notation in permil, need to add factor $10^3$: $\sigma_\delta = 1000 \sqrt{\frac{2}{N_M}}$
#
# all err... functions return sample standard deviations
