Constructing a Measurement Scheme

Abstract

Previously we demonstrated model-based measurement on simple examples, and discussed the notion of a model-based measurement scheme and its role in the validation of measures. We showed that a model-based measurement scheme is already implicit in mature disciplines whose models, theories and metrology are well established. The general applicability of model-based measurement indicates that one may also devise model-based measurement schemes for new fields of application, where such foundations are lacking.
