Measurement Uncertainty Overview
This one-day overview is the first day of the two-day class, Measurement Uncertainty Budgets. If you sign up for this class and would like to go on to take the second day, you simply pay the difference and stay for the in-depth coverage! This seminar covers the basics of measurement uncertainty analysis including uncertainty components, simple statistics, statistics on the calculator, combining uncertainties, and analysis of uncertainty budgets. This workshop presents a combination of lecture and classroom exercises to demonstrate the principles of measurement uncertainty analysis. |
