This Guide establishes general rules for evaluating and
expressing uncertainty in measurement that can be followed at various levels of accuracy and in many fields — from the shop floor to fundamental research.
«Which means that if you want to protect your biological specimen on a trip to Mars to a set conservative limit, you will probably be carrying six times too much shielding, just because the uncertainty is a factor of six — a 600
percent uncertainty in the measurement.»
These areas included construction of novel data sets for algorithm development (both in situ and synthetic data sets), cross comparison and benchmarking of coupled ocean - atmosphere radiative transfer codes, and cross comparison of instruments in the field to assess and
constrain uncertainties in the measurements of oceanic particle absorption.
And as expected, in the cited test, going up from 195 / 65/15 to 235 / 35/19 changes the maximum side acceleration from 0.83 to 0.88 (and let's be honest, there are
huge uncertainties in those measurements).
I can determine the standard uncertainty for all the measured variables from statistics It is falsifiable — i can move a body at a certain velocity for a certain time and measure the traveled distance If the traveled distance does not fit with calculated distance within the uncertainty calculated by using the international standard Guide to the expression
of Uncertainty in Measurement the model might be wrong.
The uncertainties in measurement are simply too huge
A member of the Planck team, he withheld his name from his colleagues» paper because he says they overestimated
the uncertainty in their measurements, making what might be a subtle signal of dark flow look like mere noise.
They also re-discovered Uranus» long - lost magnetic poles, which were lost shortly after their discovery by Voyager 2 in 1986 due to
uncertainties in measurements and the featureless planet surface.
Further complicating the picture is the possibility that the five youngish stars could be red giants after all, thanks to
uncertainties in the measurements of their sizes, says astronomer Evan Kirby of Caltech.
Although the calculated mass for that pulsar, called J1614 - 2230, is lower than that of the black widow pulsar,
the uncertainty in the measurement is smaller: + / - 0.04 solar masses vs 0.12 solar masses for the black widow pulsar.
Uncertainties in the measurement of mass make it hard to classify borderline objects this way.
The researchers do, however, acknowledge that there is
some uncertainty in their measurement.
Already
the uncertainties in measurements using the best of these clocks are smaller than those in measurements using the very best cesium standards.
The simplicity of optical combs has not only increased how often scientists around the world make these extremely precise frequency measurements but also greatly decreased
the uncertainty in those measurements.
The interval doesn't reflect
an uncertainty in measurement precision but rather a real variation of atomic weight from substance to substance.
So there's always
some uncertainty in the measurement.
This analysis will quantify
the uncertainty in the measurements and the factors that most influence the performance of the wind plant to ensure the results are accurate and reliable.
6 - «Measurements and model outcomes are given with a range of values to allow for
the uncertainties in measurement and modeling.»
Example analyses illustrate how to quantify
the uncertainty in the measurement of judicial decision making, and how to determine if a law firm's track record is statistically significant relative to its peer group.
Confidence interval (CI): the CI quantifies
the uncertainty in measurement; usually reported as 95 % CI, which is the range of values within which we can be 95 % sure that the true value for the whole population lies.
