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 written exercises to demonstrate the principles of
measurement uncertainty analysis.

WHAT'S
COVERED
|
This workshop presents a combination of lecture and classroom
written exercises to demonstrate the principles of measurement
uncertainty analysis.
PROGRAM
1. Basic Terminology
a) Why do we need
uncertainty and what is it?
b) Importance of
uncertainty in measurements
c) Uncertainty
analysis concepts
d) Measurements,
error and uncertainty
e) Uncertainty
components (contributors to error)
f) Random and systematic
errors
2. Basic Statistics Concepts
a) Populations and
Samples
b) Data, means, modes
and medians
c) Standard deviation
and variance
d) Distributions
e) RSS
(Root-sum-squares)
f) Confidence levels
g) Combination of
uncertainties
h) Statistical math for uncertainty
analysis
i) The analysis
process
j) Type A
computations
k) Type B
computations
l) Combining
uncertainties (Applying RSS)
m) Correlated and uncorrelated
data
n) Sensitivity
coefficients (multipliers for weighting)
o) Degrees of freedom
p) Expanded
uncertainty
3. Understanding the Uncertainty Budget
a) Role in
accreditation, liability, traceability
b) Accepted
definitions of uncertainty, e.g., GUM (others?)
c) Analyzing and
interpreting data
d) Uncertainty
statements and notes
