===Deviation===

Deviation can be defined as - the difference between an observed value and the expected value of a variable or function.

In the case of scanning with probes the observed value is the scan result shown on you map whereas the expected value is the actual position of your target in space. The deviation is the distance between the scan result shown on the map and your target.

The actual deviation (or effective deviation) cannot be calculated at this time because it is unknown how CCP has factored signal strength into the equation. The next part here explains how to calculate the Maximum deviation. It is known that the stronger your signal strength is the less actual deviation you will have therefore the deviation of your scan will always be less than the distance shown below. It helps to have an idea of how far way that dot might be from your target.

In order to calculate the maximum possible deviation you can use the constants provided for the type of probe, the scan size your probes are set to, and your skill level of Astrometric Pinpointing.

Here is the formula:

<math>Max Deviation = (Scan Range / Base Scan Range) * (Base Maximum Deviation - (Base Maximum Deviation * (.1 * Pinpointing Skill)))</math>

Below is a table that shows how your pinpointing skill effects the maximum possible deviation of core probes and combat probes respectively. Keep in mind that sisters probes and/or launchers have no effect on maximum deviation however they do have an effect on signal strength which therefore will effect the devation that you see in your scans.
