| Publisher Description: In this book, Grabe illustrates the breakdown of traditional error calculus in the face of modern measurement techniques. Revising Gau error calculus ab initio, he treats random and unknown systematic errors on an equal footing from the outset. Furthermore, Grabe also proposes what may be called well defined measuring conditions, a prerequisite for defining confidence intervals that are consistent with basic statistical concepts. The resulting measurement uncertainties are as robust and reliable as required by modern-day science, engineering and technology. |
