Measurements and experiments are made each and every day, in fields
as disparate as particle physics, chemistry, economics and
medicine, but have you ever wondered why it is that a particular
experiment has been designed to be the way it is. Indeed, how do
you design an experiment to measure something whose value is
unknown, and what should your considerations be on deciding whether
an experiment has yielded the sought after, or indeed any useful
result? These are old questions, and they are the reason behind
this volume. We will explore the origins of the methods of data
analysis that are today routinely applied to all measurements, but
which were unknown before the mid-19th Century. Anyone who is
interested in the relationship between the precision and accuracy
of measurements will find this volume useful. Whether you are a
physicist, a chemist, a social scientist, or a student studying one
of these subjects, you will discover that the basis of measurement
is the struggle to identify the needle of useful data hidden in the
haystack of obscuring background noise.
