DETERMINING THE UNCERTAINTY ASSOCIATED WITH AN INTEGRATED QUANTITY CALCULATED FROM CORRELATED SPECTRAL DATA

摘要

Photometric, colorimetric and other similar quantities can be determined from spectrallyevaluated radiometric quantities by integration. This paper describes the uncertainty associated with a calculated value of an integral due to random and systematic experimental effects and also wavelength effects. It provides both an approach based on subdividing systematic and random effects and an approach based on using a covariance matrix.
