Title: Uncertainty And Accuracy In Physical Measurements

Abstract: The formulation of the uncertainty of a reported value always involves a certain degree of arbitrariness, depending primarily on how the value is going to be used. Currently there are at least two schools of thought on this subject: physicists interested in detecting differences among results are in favor of the recommendations of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPMICIPM 1981), whereas those involved in calibration work and routine measurements follow the orthodox method (see e.g. NBS Special Publication 644).
