Uncertainty Sources<br />

Uncertainty in the measurement<br />

process<br />

• If we repeat the measurement of the same object<br />

more times in conditions which are equivalent for the<br />

experimenter, we may obtain different values, xˆ1 xˆ2<br />

• If we measure the same objects through two equally<br />

reliable measurement processes, M and N, we may<br />

obtain (repeatedly) two different values,<br />

xˆ = ϕ a xˆ = ϕ a<br />

( ) , ( )<br />

M M N N<br />

, ,...<br />

Again there may be different interpretations of these<br />

evidences (not to be mentioned now)<br />
