Abstract:

Supplement 1 to the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM), concerned with numerical methods for the propagation of distributions, embodies a generalization of the uncertainty framework of the GUM. This paper presents a number of aspects of that supplement.

Keywords: uncertainty evaluation; GUM uncertainty framework; propagation of distributions; Monte Carlo simulation; uncertainty calculation validation
