In metrology, measurement uncertainty is the expression of the statistical dispersion of the values attributed to a quantity measured on an interval or ratio scale. All measurements are subject to uncertainty and a measurement result is complete only when it is accompanied by a statement of the associated uncertainty, such as the standard ...
In the first sections of this Beginner’s Guide, the concept and importance of measurement uncertainty are introduced. Following this, details are given of how to estimate uncertainties in real measurement situations. The main steps involved in calculating the uncertainty for a measurement are outlined with easy to follow examples.
27 sie 2023 · The measurement uncertainty \(dx\ (=Δx)\) and the propagated uncertainty \(Δy\) are absolute uncertainty. Sometimes, we are interested in the size of an uncertainty relative to the size of the quantity being measured or calculated.
29 wrz 2010 · Learn what measurement uncertainty is and how to express it as a parameter that characterizes the dispersion of the values that could reasonably be attributed to the measurand. See examples of measurement uncertainty for scalar and vector quantities, and use NIST's "Uncertainty Machine" to evaluate it.
Learn how to estimate measurement uncertainty for food microbiology testing and reporting according to ISO 19036 (2019). Find definitions, components, approaches, examples and decision rules for different scenarios.
The ‘Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement’ (GUM) establishes general rules for evaluating and expressing uncertainty in measurement from the shop floor to fundamental research.
An estimate of measurement uncertainty (MU) provides an interval of values within which the true value is believed to lie with a stated probability, and is therefore a quantitative indication of the reliability of a measurement.
