Bayesian approach to assessing uncertainty and calculating a reference value in Key Comparison experiments.

From: Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards andTechnology | Date: November 1, 2005| Author: Toman, Blaza | Copyright information

International experiments called Key Comparisons pose an interesting statistical problem, the estimation of a quantity called a Reference Value. There are many possible forms that this estimator can take. Recently, this topic has received much international attention. In this paper, it is argued that a fully Bayesian approach to this problem is compatible with the current practice of metrology, and can easily be used to create statistical models which satisfy the varied properties ...
