Abstract

The approach for calculating the coverage region associated with the bidimensional measurand are presented. The calculation methods are based on an uncertainty propagation and a propagation of distributions. The measure of uncertainty associated with the scalar measurand is a coverage interval, but the measure of uncertainty associated with the vector measurand is a coverage region. The coverage interval is a special case of the coverage region, when the scalar output quantity is represented by a univariate measurement function. The coverage region represents the uncertainty of vector output quantity defined by multivariate measurement model.
