#' Two-component error model
#'
#' Function describing the standard deviation of the measurement error in
#' dependence of the measured value \eqn{y}:
#'
#' \deqn{\sigma = \sqrt{ \sigma_{low}^2 + y^2 * {rsd}_{high}^2}} sigma =
#' sqrt(sigma_low^2 + y^2 * rsd_high^2)
#'
#' This is the error model used for example by Werner et al. (1978). The model
#' proposed by Rocke and Lorenzato (1995) can be written in this form as well,
#' but assumes approximate lognormal distribution of errors for high values of
#' y.
#'
#' @param y The magnitude of the observed value
#' @param sigma_low The asymptotic minimum of the standard deviation for low
#' observed values
#' @param rsd_high The coefficient describing the increase of the standard
#' deviation with the magnitude of the observed value
#' @return The standard deviation of the response variable.
