uncertainty
basic concept
Measurement uncertainty
Dispersion of measured values
Classification
Standard Uncertainty (UA)
Uncertainty given in terms of standard deviation
Classification
Type A standard uncertainty (UA)
Statistical methods were used to assess
Type B standard uncertainty
assessed by non-statistical methods
synthetic uncertainty
The result is obtained from the values of several other quantities
Standard uncertainty calculated based on the variance and covariance of other quantities
Expanded uncertainty (U)
The amount of the measurement result interval
To obtain the expanded uncertainty, the combined standard uncertainty is multiplied by the numerical factor
inclusion factor
K means
K=2
Relative uncertainty (UArel)
Uncertainty divided by the measured value
Error and Uncertainty
There is a difference in all directions
evaluation process
specified to be measured
Identify sources of uncertainty
Sources include
Sampling, storage conditions, instruments, reagents, quantitative relationships of chemical reactions, measurement conditions, sample matrix, calculation effects, blank correction, operators and random effects
Quantification of components
Each potential component of uncertainty in a measurement or estimate
Should be expressed in terms of standard deviation
