On the Correct Numerical Expression the Results of Joint Measurements
Protvino, 2006. – p. 25, tables: 1, refs.: 40.


Collection of the bad practice examples in the expression of results in the joint measurements of several measurands is presented. Examples are extracted from the scientific papers in respectable journals, handbooks, textbooks, and from electronic resources of the evaluated data in fundamental metrology and fundamental physics. The origin of the appearance of incorrect data is the absence of international standard on the numerical expression and presentation of the results in joint measurements (estimation) of several measurands, and the inadmissable implementation of the famous ISO GUM outside the region if its applicability. Note that ISO GUM is intended for one measurand only.
Simple quantitative parameters to assure the correctness of the numerical expression the results of joint measurements of several measurands are proposed.
The "criteria of the results in joint measurements" is also proposed to be included as a part of the clauses in the expansion of he ISO GUM to several measurands.
