Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This work is notable for its wide approach to the estimation of measurement error - from fundamental theories to practical recommendations and procedures. It explores the classical concepts of metrology as well as new theories; describes the characteristics of all classes of measuring instruments; and considers the problems of instrumental calibration.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 273-275) and index.
General information about measurements -- Measuring instruments and their properties -- Prerequisites for the analysis of the inaccuracy of measurements and for synthesis of their components -- Statistical methods for analysis of multiple measurements in the absence of systematic errors -- Direct measurements -- Indirect measurements -- Simultaneous and combined measurements -- Combining the results of measurements -- Calculation of the errors of measuring instruments -- Problems in the theory of calibration -- Methods for calculating the correlation coefficient and accounting of dependencies between components of measurement uncertainty.
