  // The error(x) is determined by calculating a central interval that capture N% of the variations 
  // for each valye of x, where N% is controlled by Z (i.e. Z=1 gives N=68%). The number of sampling curves 
  // is chosen to be such that at least 100 curves are expected to be outside the N% interval, and is minimally 
  // 100 (e.g. Z=1->Ncurve=356, Z=2->Ncurve=2156)) Intervals from the sampling method can be asymmetric,
