Analysis of the Parameters That Determine the Reliability of the Results of a Verification of Measuring Instruments

Abstract

The influence of the inadequacy of a priori knowledge of the properties of the results of measurements and of standards used in estimation of the probabilistic characteristics of errors is considered. A computer program of a procedure for determining the dependence of the reliability of a verification of the results of measurements on the inadequacy of the form of the probability distribution of the new estimate, where the residual systematic errors of the results of measurements and the quantity reproducible by the standard have been excluded from consideration, as well as on the volume of the sample employed is presented.
