When e alua ing measu emen unce ain y, he e y basic sou ce o ely on is he documen JCGM
100:2008 E alua ion o measu emen da a β Guide o he exp ession o unce ain y in measu emen

I p o ides gene al ules o e alua ing and exp essing unce ain y in measu emen .
Following a e e y ew exce p s om he Guide, used as a basic example o e alua ing he
measu emen da a.
1. Es ima e o he ou pu quan i y
In mos cases, a measu and Y is no measu ed di ec ly, bu is de e mined om N inpu quan i ies X1,
X2, ....XN h ough a unc ional ela ionship
Y = (X1, X2, ..., XN ) (1)
An es ima e y o he measu and Y, is ob ained om Equa ion (1) using inpu es ima es x1, x2, ..., xN o
he alues o he N inpu quan i ies X1, X2, ..., XN. Thus he ou pu es ima e y, which is he esul o he
measu emen , is gi en by
π¦=πο€=1πβππ
ππ=1 =1πβπ(π1,π,π2,π,β¦,ππ,π,)
ππ=1 (2)
Tha is, y is aken as he a i hme ic mean o a e age o n independen de e mina ions Yk o Y, each
de e mina ion ha ing he same unce ain y and each being based on a comple e se o obse ed alues
