Application to an example of mass calibration
Bayesian approach of measurement uncertainty evaluation

The example chosen to illustrate a linear measurement model is the calibration of a 10-kg mass from the EA-4/02 guide . In this section, we have adapted the example to illustrate the possibilities offered by a Bayesian framework.

Consider, for example, the calibration of a mass with a nominal value of 10 kg (OIML Class M1) performed by comparison with a reference standard (OIML Class F2) of the same nominal value, using a mass comparator whose metrological characteristics have been previously determined....
