Measurement theory for engineers

From MaRDI portal





This textbook deals with the principal issues of measurement theory. Each topic starts with an informal introduction followed by an example, the rigorous problem formulation, solution method, and a detailed numerical solution. Each chapter concludes with a set of exercises of increasing difficulty, mostly with solutions. Knowledge of calculus and fundamental probability and statistics is required for the understanding of the book contents. This book is intended as a text for graduate students and a reference for researchers and industrial experts specializing in measurement data analysis for quality control and industrial process improvement. Chapter headings: (1) Introduction; (2) Means and standard deviation; (3) Comparing means and variances; (4) Sources of uncertainty: process and measurement variability; (5) Measurement uncertainty: error propagation formula; (6) Calibration of measurement instruments; (7) Collaborative studies; (8) Measurements in special circumstances.
