Dealing with Uncertainties

Více o knize

Focusing on a deductive approach, this monograph explores the nature of uncertainties, particularly in relation to single data points and varying data weights. It critiques the commonly used inductive methods for estimating uncertainties, presenting a novel perspective that is independent of measurements. The book thoroughly examines both uncorrelated and correlated uncertainties, highlighting the limitations of statistical weights in regression analysis. With over 150 illustrative problems, it serves as a comprehensive guide for understanding uncertainties in scientific data and everyday information.
