This book presents a systematic and comprehensive exposition of the
theory of measurement accuracy and provides solutions that fill
significant and long-standing gaps in the classical theory. It
eliminates the shortcomings of the classical theory by including
methods for estimating accuracy of single measurements, the most
common type of measurement. The book also develops methods of
reduction and enumeration for indirect measurements, which do not
require Taylor series and produce a precise solution to this
problem. It produces grounded methods and recommendations for
summation of errors. The monograph also analyzes and critiques two
foundation metrological documents, the International Vocabulary of
Metrology (VIM) and the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in
Measurement (GUM), and discusses directions for their revision.
This new edition adds a step-by-step guide on how to evaluate
measurement accuracy and recommendations on how to calculate
systematic error of multiple measurements. There is also an
extended section on the method of reduction, which provides an
alternative to the least-square method and the method of
enumeration. Many sections are also rewritten to improve the
structure and usability of the material. The 3rd edition reflects
the latest developments in metrology and offers new results, and it
is designed to be accessible to readers at various levels and
positions, including scientists, engineers, and undergraduate and
graduate students. By presenting material from a practical
perspective and offering solutions and recommendations for problems
that arise in conducting real-life measurements, author Semyon
Rabinovich offers an invaluable resource for scientists in any
field.

"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.
A practical reference on theory and methods of estimating
measurement errors and uncertainty for both scientists and
engineers in industry and experimental research. Building on the
fundamentals of measurement theory, this book offers a wealth of
practial recommendations and procedures. It differs from the
majority of books in that it balances coverage of probabilistic
methods with detailed information on the characterization,
calibration, standardization and limitations of measuring
instruments, with specific examples from both electrical and
mechanical systems. In addition to a general updating to reflect
current research, new material in this edition includes increased
coverage of indirect measurements, with a new, simpler, more
efficient method for this class of measurements.
The objective of this book is to give well-grounded methods for
estimation of the uncertainly of measurement results. Starting from
the basics of metrology, the book studies this subject in detail,
from theoretical analysis all the way to concrete practical
recommendations in areas ranging from single measurements in
industry, trade, etc. to multiple measurements in experimental
sciences. The book derives these recommendations by systematic
development of the measurement accuracy theory. An important aspect
of this book is that it develops the theory from the strong
practical perspective, by giving priority to the physical essence
of the problems and paying special attention to properties of
measuring instruments and their influence on the uncertainty of
measurements. The book also presents basics on characterization,
standardization and calibration of measuring instruments as well as
methods for calculating limits of errors of measuring instruments.
All recommendations are illustrated by detailed examples from
measurements of both electrical and mechanical quantities.
