Items related to Evaluating Measurement Accuracy: A Practical Approach
Evaluating Measurement Accuracy, 2nd Edition is intended for those who are concerned with measurements in any field of science or technology. It reflects the latest developments in metrology and offers new results, but is designed to be accessible to readers at different levels: scientists who advance the field of metrology, engineers and experimental scientists who use measurements as tool in their professions, students and graduate students in natural sciences and engineering, and, in parts describing practical recommendations, technicians performing mass measurements in industry, quality control, and trade. This book presents material from the practical perspective and offers solutions and recommendations for problems that arise in conducting real-life measurements. This new edition adds a method for estimating accuracy of indirect measurements with independent arguments, whose development Dr. Rabinovich was able to complete very recently. This method, which is called the Method of Enumeration, produces estimates that are no longer approximate, similar to the way the method of reduction described in the first edition removed approximation in estimating uncertainty of indirect measurements with dependent arguments. The method of enumeration completes addressing the range of problems whose solutions signify the emergence of the new theory of accuracy of measurements. A new method is added for building a composition of histograms, and this method forms a theoretical basis for the method of enumeration.Additionally, as a companion to this book, a concise practical guide that assembles simple step-by-step procedures for typical tasks the practitioners are likely to encounter in measurement accuracy estimation is available at SpringerLink.

Review:
From the reviews:
“This book covers a range of topics related to the characterization and treatment of different types of errors in measurement and instrument calibration. ... the author highlights the differences, and details the reasoning behind the alternate views so the researcher or practitioner can easily discern when these arguments are valid. The reader will be challenged, will undoubtedly learn new methods for the treatment of data and measurement errors, and will gain a deeper understanding of the subject. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students through professionals/practitioners.” (J. D. Drescher, Choice, Vol. 48 (1), September, 2010)
