SUBJECTIVELY- VS. OBJECTIVELY-BASED UNCERTAINTY EVALUATION IN METROLOGY AND TESTING

Franco Pavese

Abstract

The general problem is wide and extensively treated in the literature. The paper intends to limit the discussion from the viewpoint of the metrologist to some aspects of the problems related to the concept of "true value", abandoned by GUM but still present in other international reference documents, and about the use of nonquantitative information or of prior knowledge in connection with the uncertainty evaluation in measurement.
