• Understand how the Monte Carlo simulation can be applied to metrology
  • Learn how to apply supplement 1 to GUM (NF ISO/CEI Guide 98-3/S1)
  • Understand the propagation of probability distributions using numerical simulation
  • Understand the pros and cons of the numerical versus the analytical method (GUM)

Engineers, researchers and technicians tasked with evaluating measurement uncertainties and tests who are seeking an in-depth understanding of all the techniques used to evaluate measurement uncertainties.

  • Basic skills in numerical calculation
  • Prior experience in evaluating measurement uncertainties
  • Basic Excel skills

By the end of the course, the participant will be able to evaluate measurement uncertainties using numerical simulation. They will understand in which cases conventional methods do not apply and give unsatisfactory results.
