Maybe the term 'confidence' is not correct since bigger-sized ellipses are less 'confident' since their variance is higher? Is "confidence interval" a logical linguistic name for the phenomena, or just bad practice? Why don't we use 'deviation interval' e.g.?
In metrology, we use 'error ellipses'. I suppose it is bad practice as well. Since the erroneous measurements are outside the ellipse...
One mentioned the usage of 'quantile ellipses' instead 'confidence ellipses' here (https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/217374/real-meaning-of-confidence-ellipse).
I think the 'quantile ellipse' meaning is also a bit ambiguous. "The word quantile has no fewer than two distinct meanings in probability. " - from Wolfram MathWorld. Since we use 95 %, then we should call it to "95 percentile ellipses" logically.
And what about the terms: "standard ellipses" or "deviation ellipses"? For me, "deviation ellipses or ellipsoids" seems the most logical name for the phenomena.
