A COMPUTATIONAL METHOD IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PROBABILITY REGION OF CONFIDENCE

Abstract:
The construction of a region of confidence or "confidence belt", that is the expression of an expanded uncertainty with a given coverage probability, for measurements performed on the same measurand by different processes, is a critical task in the perspective to establish a measurement traceability on a global basis. An alternative procedure to the analytical one suggested in the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement, strictly related to the validity of the Central Limit Theorem, is desirable, in order to cover a larger range of situations not included in the normal distribution cases. In this work statistical approach is proposed based on the use of Monte Carlo approximation technique and on the bootstrap resampling iteration. An experimental model is examined to check the validity of the proposed method.
