Introduction
ISO 5725 uses two terms, “trueness” and “precision”, to describe the accuracy of a measurement method. “Trueness” refers to the closeness of agreement between the expectation of a measurement result and a true value. "Precision" refers to the closeness of agreement between independent measurement results obtained under stipulated conditions.
Course Objectives
Participants for this training course will learn:
- specifies basic methods for estimating the bias of a measurement method and the laboratory bias when a measurement method is applied
- provides a practical approach of a basic method for routine use in estimating the bias of measurement methods and laboratory bias
- provides a brief guidance to all personnel concerned with designing, performing or analyzing the results of the measurements for estimating bias.
- measurement methods which yield measurements on a continuous scale and give a single value as the measurement result, although the single value can be the outcome of a calculation from a set of observations.
- the measurement method has been standardized and all measurements are carried out according to that measurement method.
Target Audience
This training is aimed for anyone looking to expand their knowledge of Accuracy (trueness and precision) of measurement methods and results.
