NIST Fundamentals of Uncertainty Analysis Short Course

The NIST Fundamentals of Uncertainty Analysis Short Course covers the propagation of measurement uncertainty using the methods outlined in the JCGM Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement from a statistical perspective. Concepts are illustrated using examples from a wide range of different types of measurements. The short course will provide participants with a working knowledge of the methods needed to compute measurement uncertainties, hands-on experience in their application, and scientific and statistical insight into the interpretation of the results.
