−
and those from the finite MC statistics will contribute. The part of the error on the intensity coming from the finite MC statistics is computed using the usual rules for error propagation. A subtle point easy to miss at this stage is that the errors on the ''I''<sub>αβ</sub> are correlated because they are computed on the same MC sample. Therefore, while the ''I''<sub>αβ</sub> is rank 2 in the partial wave index, its error is rank 4.
