Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

A probabilistic approach for estimating the loss of precision in measurement chains as an optimality criterion for the analysis of a chain is proposed. In this approach, the ultimate or resultant dimension of the unit of a physical quantity that has been transferred from a national (initial) standard to working measurement devices constitutes a random variable that is a composition of the distributions of the values of the dimension of the unit of a physical quantity by stage of transfer of the unit in the measurement chain.
