Abstract

It is demonstrated that in low multiplicity sample, the increase of the fluctuation of event-factorial-moments with the diminishing of phase space scale, called ``erraticity'', are dominated by the statistical fluctuations. The erraticity behavior observed at NA27 experiment can be readily reproduced by pure statistical fluctuations. Applying erraticity analysis to a high multiplicity sample is recommended and the method is improved at very high multiplicity case as well.
