A <physicist> associated with quantitative measurement and the evaluation of <measurement uncertainty>. With <Chris E. Kuyatt>, he wrote NIST guidance that separates uncertainty evaluated statistically from uncertainty evaluated using other information, then expresses both on a common <standard uncertainty> scale. This allows repeated readings, instrument specifications and other contributions to be combined into an explicit <measurement uncertainty budget>; correcting an estimated <systematic error> does not eliminate uncertainty in that correction.<Guidelines for Evaluating and Expressing the Uncertainty of NIST Measurement Results by Barry N. Taylor and Chris E. Kuyatt>[§§2–5: uncertainty evaluations and combination; Appendix D.1: correction and systematic error]{ref}
