LHO Calibration Uncertainty - Now With Covariance
C. Cahillane

I have revamped the uncertainty budget to include covariances between all stages of actuation and all time-dependent parameters.
I computed each parameter's covariances in real and imaginary coordinates to provide a consistent basis.  I then compiled an 6 x 6 Actuation Covariance Matrix C_A, a 2 x 2 Sensing Covariance Matrix C_S, and an 8 x 8 Kappa Covariance Matrix C_K.  Then I compile them into a giant covariance matrix C:

     _             _
    |  C_A  0   0   |
C = |   0  C_S  0   |
    |_  0   0  C_K _|     

Then, I multiply by some conspicuous Jacobian vectors J(f) to get the final 2 x 2 uncertainty matrix σ_R^2(f):

σ_R^2 = J * C * J'

where J looks like:

        _                            _
       |  d Re(R)    d Im(R)          |
       | ---------  ---------   ....  |
       | d Re(p_i)  d Re(p_i)         |
J(f) = |                              |
       |  d Re(R)    d Im(R)          |
       | ---------  ---------   ....  |
       |_d Im(p_i)  d Im(p_i)        _|

(I was able to use complex differentiation and Cauchy-Riemann here to make the derivatives easier.  Recall that R = 1/C + D*A.  Now I can compute dR/dA = D and dR/dC = -1/C^2 to form J(f), thanks to 200 year old mathematics)

Finally, to make the uncertainties readable by humans, I divide σ_R^2(f) by |R(f)|^2, rotate σ_R^2(f) by angle(R(f)) via a rotation matrix, and read off the square roots of the diagonal of the rotated σ_R^2(f) to get the magnitude and phase uncertainties plotted below.

I have plotted the uncertainty at GPSTime = 1135136350, the time of the Boxing Day Event.

The plot shows an overall increase in magnitude uncertainty of about 1% at low frequency.
Phase uncertainty increased by about 0.5 degrees at low frequency.

The effects are more dramatic at Livingston.  Check out LLO aLOG 26542.

I have reproduced the uncertainties including covariance for GW150914 for the calibration companion paper.  We will have to update the associated uncertainty calculation sections of the paper.  
I have also attached two .txt files for the R_C01/R_C03 response comparison and the associated uncertainty.

Something I failed to emphasize above: Our uncertainties in the response function are now fully covariant... the plots I show of the magnitude and phase are only approximations to the true uncertainty.  
I have looked at the 3D plots of the covariant ellipses, and it's a fairly good approximation in this case.

I have attached and printed my relative covariance matrix.  Please see DCC T1600227 for an explanation of the relative covariance matrix.  
Basically, the below is percentage covariances.
