Using Bayesian analysis to quantify and reduce uncertainty in experimental measurements — A narrow-angle radiometer case study Open
Formal uncertainty analysis is an important but sometimes overlooked component of experimental work. Without quantified uncertainty, it is difficult to draw definitive conclusions from the experimental data, as a lack of formal uncertainty…
