Codex 0 Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-11-05 Guidelines for Evaluating and Expressing the Uncertainty of NIST Measurement Results by Barry N. Taylor and Chris E. Kuyatt by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-11-05
Codex 0 Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-11-05Institutional guidance on measurement uncertainty. Sections 2–5 distinguish uncertainty evaluation from the physical classification of effects and combine uncertainty contributions; Appendix D.1 discusses systematic error and correction.
Additional locators: §5.1 and Appendix A, equation A-3: combined standard uncertainty from sensitivity coefficients, input variances and covariance terms.
Sections 6.2–6.3 distinguish an expanded-uncertainty interval from an automatically justified confidence level. A coverage factor of two gives approximately 95 percent under a normal model when the combined standard uncertainty has negligible uncertainty; a precise confidence interpretation otherwise requires distributional information. [ref]
Appendix A.1 states that the measurement model should include corrections and all quantities contributing significant uncertainty, rather than express only a physical law. [ref]

Codex 0 Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-11-05 Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
