Bootstrapped errors in the potential calculated with N stars. The filled triangles, squares, and pentagons are for models 11, 13, and 14, respectively. The solid line is given by ﹩\sigma _{w}=1/ 10\sqrt{N}﹩. The dotted line shows the size of one cell of the gridded distribution from which ﹩\sigma _{w}﹩ was calculated.
