joining three lists to plot data with errors

Question

I have three lists:

x = {x1, x2, ...},
y = {y1, y2, ...},
yErr = {y1Err, y2Err, ...}

that I want to join into the following format:

{{{x1, Around[y1, y1Err]}, {x2, Around[y2, y2Err]}, ...}}

How can I do this automatically?

Answer 1

Perhaps

MapThread[{#1,Around[#2,#3]}&,{x,y,yErr}]

is what you are looking for.

Answer 2

You can also use

{#, Around @ ##2} & @@@ Transpose[{x, y, yErr}]

or

Transpose[{x, Around @@@ Transpose[{y, yErr}]}]
