Weighted regression functions, uncertainty of parameters. Application of matrix in the error analysis. Uncertainty of the predicted value. Conditional measurements and conditional equations. Calculation of corrections. Examples.Mathematical model of measurand. Parameters of real measurements (final resolution, hysteresis, arithmetic of final precision, non-corrected values). Correlated and non-correlated quantities. Effective level of freedom and level of confidence. Examples.Results of measurement. Rejection of result according to Chauvenet criterion.
General Competencies
The course gives a deep understanding of the fundamentals of theory of measurements, as well as the theoretical approaches to the error analysis and the calculation of the values, parameters and predicted values according to the weighted functions. The students will have ability to analyse the results obtained in real measurement situations and practical skills to perform the necessary calculation for the determination of the most probable value and associated uncertainty.
Learning Outcomes
- Recall diferent contributions to the uncertainty of measurement
- Estimate uncertainty of measurement for uncorrelated quantities
- Employ Gauss distribution for determination of expanded uncertainty
- Analysis of indirect and conditional measurements
- Create self-developed algorithms for regression functions
- Assess different approaches in the estimation of measurement results
