摘要: This paper discusses basic theoretical strategies used to deal with measurement uncertainties arising from different experimental situations. It attempts indicate the most appropriate method of obtaining a reliable estimate quantity be evaluated depending on characteristics data available. The discussed are supported by detail, and conditions results have been taken examples in field radionuclide metrology. Special care regarding correct treatment covariances is emphasized because unreliability obtained if these neglected.
