Abstract
A revised method is proposed for processing measurements on the basis of a generalized normal distribution for the random error: a three-parameter distribution very close to the sampling distribution for the measurements that at the same time preserves all the advantages of a gaussian distribution. The method has been tested out on various state and secondary standards. It produces a substantial effect when one needs to obtain a measurement result with the maximum possible accuracy.
