| NOTAS: | "This book brings together a theoretical framework for making measurements that are more meaningful, and practical techniques for measuring virtually anything with greater accuracy.KEY TOPICS:You'll start by considering the philosophy and thought processes that underlie successful measurement. Next, review the many areas and mechanisms of error that commonly affect measurements -- and how you can prevent or compensate for them. Compare the theoretical techniques available for estimating parameter values, and learn how to estimate confidence levels for them. Coverage includes measurement models, measurements as random variables, probability theory, and more -- including a detailed chapter full of examples, ranging from battery resistance to GPS navigation. Careful, precise, and clearly written, this is the first guide to measurement that bridges theory and practice, helping any professional perform measurements more effectively.MARKET:For system designers, engineers, scientists, and anyone else with measurement challenges." |
