The fit fully takes into acount the experimental uncorrelated and correlated errors as well as model uncertainties such as $\alpha_s$ and the charm quark mass. In addition we present an estimate of the uncertainties arrising from the form of the parameterisation of the parton distribution functions at the starting scale of the QCD evolution. In a fit to H1 data alone this uncertainty is found to be sizeable. \end{abstract} \end{titlepage} \pagestyle{plain} %----- FIGURE 1 ----------------------------------------------------------- \begin{figure}[htbp] \begin{center} \epsfig{file=H1prelim-02-053.fig1.eps,clip,width=0.8\textwidth} % \epsfig{file=H1prelim-02-053.fig1.eps,width=15cm} \caption{ The preliminary NC reduced cross section $\tilde{\sigma}_{NC}$ from the 1994-2000 $e^+p$ data in comparison to a QCD fit to H1 data only. The inner error bars of the data represent the statistical error, and the outer error bars show the total error. The normalisation uncertainty is not included in the errors.
