Inhaltsangabe

A new approach towards uncertainties is taken. Firstly, it is shown that uncertainties are the consequence of modern science rather than of measurements. Secondly, the importance of internal uncertainties is stressed. They can deal with the uncertainty of a single data point and with sets of data having differing weights. Both cases cannot be handled with external uncertainties which are usually considered. The handling of both uncorrelated and correlated uncertainties is fully covered. The weakness of using statistical weights in regression analysis is discussed. Examples are given for correlations in data evaluations and for the feedback of uncertainties on experiments.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Dealing with Uncertainties is an innovative monograph that lays special emphasis on the deductive approach to uncertainties and on the shape of uncertainty distributions. This perspective has the potential for dealing with the uncertainty of a single data point and with sets of data that have different weights. It is shown that the inductive approach that is commonly used to estimate uncertainties is in fact not suitable for these two cases. The approach that is used to understand the nature of uncertainties is novel in that it is completely decoupled from measurements. Uncertainties which are the consequence of modern science provide a measure of confidence both in scientific data and in information in everyday life. Uncorrelated uncertainties and correlated uncertainties are fully covered and the weakness of using statistical weights in regression analysis is discussed. The text is abundantly illustrated with examples and includes more than 150 problems to help the reader master the subject.
