This book fulfills the global need to evaluate measurement results
along with the associated uncertainty. In the book, together with the
details of uncertainty calculations for many physical parameters,
probability distributions and their properties are discussed.
Definitions of various terms are given and will help the practicing
metrologists to grasp the subject. The book helps to establish
international standards for the evaluation of the quality of raw data
obtained from various laboratories for interpreting the results of
various national metrology institutes in an international
inter-comparisons. For the routine calibration of instruments, a new
idea for the use of pooled variance is introduced. The uncertainty
calculations are explained for (i) independent linear inputs, (ii)
non-linear inputs and (iii) correlated inputs. The merits and
limitations of the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in
Measurement (GUM) are discussed. Monte Carlo methods for the
derivation of the output distribution from the input distributions are
introduced. The Bayesian alternative for calculation of expanded
uncertainty is included. A large number of numerical examples is
included.
