This extensively revised edition follows the complete process to identify how the accuracy of measurements can be verified i.e. where errors might arise and how much certainty can be attached to results. Includes the author's new theory for processing indirect measurement data which supplements the method of reduction. He describes this as the method of transformation and details are given in chapter six ER -
