- Residual Analysis
- The subtraction operation compared observed positions to the model's predictions, isolating the residual: a small but systematic discrepancy of a few arcminutes that the gravitational model could not absorb.
This sourceStandard history of how Le Verrier and Adams inferred Neptune's mass and orbit from the systematic residuals in Uranus's motion, leading to its discovery within a degree of the predicted position.
