Robust and efficient method for smoothing measurement results

摘要

A method for smoothing measurement results is presented, in which a parameter is calculated, using weight factors, from a number of measurement results in a sample. The parameter is a measure of the center of the sample and has a breaking point different from zero. Using this method, neither an increased number of measurements nor the removal of outliers are required when the reliability of individual measurement results is questionable due to interference, such as momentary burst noise.
