The Evaluation of Measurement Uncertainty

The evaluation of measurement uncertainty is a main task in measurement, as we have amply discussed in Chap. 2, and one of the main aims of this book is to provide a sound foundation for that. We have already taken some steps in this direction: in Chap. 5, we have presented a general probabilistic model of the measurement process which provides the basic theoretical framework for the evaluation. In Chap. 6, we have started to consider the application of that framework, discussing the logical steps involved, by means of simple illustrative examples.
