Abstract
Need to take uncertainty into account when processing data: reminder. The resulting estimates are never 100% accurate:
-
measurements are never absolutely accurate,
-
physical models used for predictions are usually only approximate, and
-
sometimes (like in quantum physics) these models only predict the probabilities of different events.
