peittävyystekijällä
Peittävyystekijä, often translated as coverage factor or multiplicity factor, is a term used in various scientific and engineering contexts, particularly in metrology and statistics. It represents a numerical multiplier applied to a standard uncertainty to determine a wider interval that is likely to contain the true value of a measured quantity with a specified level of confidence.
In practical terms, the peittävyystekijä is crucial for expressing the uncertainty of a measurement. When a
The concept is fundamental in the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM), which provides
