CLASSICAL APPROACHES TO THE EVALUATION OF MEASUREMENT RESULTS

Július Bajcsy

   This paper presents the classical approaches to the treatment of measurement results, starting from the definition of the measurement error as a difference between the measured value and the true value. It should be a starting point to a fundamental review of modern ways of measurement result evaluation that is based on measurement uncertainty. This new approach is unconditionally required from accredited laboratories.

Keywords: measurement error, systematic error, random error, correction, point estimate, interval estimate, confidence interval
