On Use of Bayesian Statistics to Make Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement Consistent

September 1, 2003

Author(s)

Raghu N. Kacker, Albert W. Jones

The Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement recommends a standardized way of expressing uncertainty in measurement and provides a comprehensive approach for combining information to evaluate uncertainty in all kinds of measurements in science

Repeatability and Reproducibility Standard Deviations in the Measurement of Trace Moisture Generated Using Permeation Tubes

May 1, 2003

Author(s)

Peter H. Huang, Raghu N. Kacker

Permeation-tube moisture generators are commonly used in industry as calibrated sources of water vapor and carrier gas mixtures. This paper describes repeatability and reproducibility uncertainties obtained with these generators in the range 10 nL/L to 100

Combined Result and the Associated Uncertainty from Interlaboratory Evaluations Based on the ISO Guide

September 1, 2002

Author(s)

Raghu N. Kacker, Raju V. Datla, Albert C. Parr

We address the problem of determining the combined result and the associated uncertainty in measurement of a common measurand by a set of competent laboratories. The issues include the following. What is the combined result and what uncertainty is

Diffraction Corrections in Radiometry: A Proposed Method to Estimate Uncertainties

January 1, 2002

Author(s)

Eric L. Shirley, Raghu N. Kacker, Raju V. Datla

Radiometric determination of certain quantities, such as source radiance, geometrical aspects of an optical system (e.g., throughput, aperture areas and detector response relies heavily on the mathematical principles governing geometrical optics. These

An Interpretation of the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement

May 1, 2000

Author(s)

Raghu N. Kacker

The Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) is intended for all scientific and technological measurements in science, engineering, commerce, industry, and regulation. So the GUM must have a clear interpretation. But it mixes up concepts

Reliability of Conformance Tests

August 21, 1998

Author(s)

Robert C. Hagwood, Raghu N. Kacker, James H. Yen, D L. Banks, Lynne S. Rosenthal, Leonard J. Gallagher, Paul E. Black

A conformance test is a software assurance test that is applied in order to determine if specification requirements of the software are being met. It is a time-dependent model, where the software object is subjected to an a priori known test suite. The

Software Testing: Protocol Comparison

May 29, 1998

Author(s)

James H. Yen, D L. Banks, Leonard J. Gallagher, Paul E. Black, Robert C. Hagwood, Raghu N. Kacker, Lynne S. Rosenthal

Software testing is hard, expensive, and uncertain. Many protocols have been suggested, especially in the area of conformance verification. In order to compare the efficacy of these protocols, we have implemented a designed simulation experiment that

Software Testing by Statistical Methods - Preliminary Success Estimates for Approaches Based on Binomial Models, Coverage Designs, Mutation Testing, and Usage Models
