On the Information Content of the Results of Measurements

Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Based on the introduced measure of experimental information, an approach is suggested that simplifies the planning of an experiment, as well as the processing and interpretation of its results. The approach considered is quite universal and can be used in experimental investigation of a wide range of processes (phenomena) described by linear (relative to the parameters investigated) models. The results of numerical calculation that illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach are presented. The calculation is carried out with the aid of the example of solving a model problem of processing the results of nonstationary temperature measurements.
