### Abstract

The influence of the observation errors distribution on the orbits of 22 asteroids potentially hazard for the Earth is considered. These asteroids have sufficiently great numbers of observations at a few last oppositions. Two methods were used: 1) the dispersions are determined taking into account the nonlinear propagation of errors, 2) the orbits and dispersions are determined by the method of least modules. For 13 asteroids the dispersion ellipsoids computed by the method of least modules is more real then the ones computed by the method of least squares. The dispersion ellipsoid calculated by the method taking into account the nonlinear relations is also more real. Orbits computed by the method of least modules is more accurate then ones computed by the method of least squares for 13 asteroid. Therefore the orbital parameters for newly discovered asteroids should be computed not only by the conventional method of least squares but also by the method of least modules
