A standard reference in uncertainty modeling is the "Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM)". GUM groups the occurring uncertain quantities into "Type A" and "Type B". Uncertainties of "Type A" are determined with the classical statistical methods, while "Type B" is subject to other uncertainties which are obtained by experience and knowledge about an instrument or a measur...

In this paper, we put forward a fundamental question concerning feedback control of quantum systems: Is measurement-based feedback control still better than openloop control? In contrast to the classical control theory, the answer is far from obvious. This is because measurement-based feedback needs measurement to reduce the system uncertainty, whereas the measurement on a quantum system will i...

− Recently we proposed an approach based on digital filtering for evaluating dynamic non-stationary contributions to the measurement uncertainty. A dynamic simulator instead of a digital filter bank is here utilized for deriving the dynamic measurement uncertainty of mixed capacitive voltage dividers. These are used for lightning impulse measurements, during a calibration measurement of a stand...

In this paper, we review measurement systems analysis from the point of view of the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement and ISO 5725: Accuracy (Trueness and Precision) of Measurement Methods and Results. We also consider other computational approaches such as Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations that could be useful for uncertainty evaluation.

− The measurement of air shock wave pressure is a typical problem of transient measurement. Because the measurement data in many cases is used to judge the quality of a product, or as a basis for changes being made during a development phase, uncertainty analysis or assessment of measurement data takes a very important role in the process of reporting experimental results. It is very difficult ...

Background and Objectives: Evaluating the performance of clinical units is critical for effective management of health settings. Certain assessment of clinical variables for performance analysis is not always possible, calling for use of uncertainty theory. This study aimed to develop and evaluate an integrated independent component analysis-fuzzy-data envelopment analysis approach to accurate ...

A bomb calorimeter is an apparatus used for measuring the performance of coal in term of heat of combustion. Recent awareness has been created regarding uncertainty of measurement, due to mainly two reasons. Laboratory accreditation, which has steadily been on the rise, which requires a estimation of uncertainty of measurement particularly in the field of calibration. Second, increased maturity...

Meta-analysis aims to combine results from multiple experiments. For example, a neutron reaction rate or cross section is typically measured in multiple experiments, and a single estimate and its uncertainty are provided for users of the estimated reaction rate. It is often difficult to combine estimates from multiple laboratories because there can be important differences in experimental proto...
