Modelling and Estimation of Measurement Errors

This handbook aims to present an innovative approach to the use of statistical methods to improve the quality of analysis.

It does this by focusing on the specifics of processing measurement results and also by outlining the required procedures for evaluating a given measurement method and assessing the reliability of results.

The mathematical models provided give sufficient detail to help the non-statistician choose the appropriate method.

With the help of the many examples, calculations can be carried out with only a limited knowledge of the theory of statistics.

For fuller theoretical explanations, the appendices include more coherent frameworks although these are not essential when using the methods described in the main body of the text.
