Quick Uncertainty Calculation

Source: R/uncertainty.R
measure_uncertainty.Rd

A convenience function that returns just the key uncertainty values without the full budget object.

Usage

measure_uncertainty(..., .list = NULL, k = 2)

Arguments

...

uncertainty_component() objects to include in the budget.

.list

Optional list of uncertainty components.

k

Coverage factor for expanded uncertainty. Default is 2 (approximately 95% coverage for normal distribution).

Value

A named list with:

  • combined_u: Combined standard uncertainty

  • expanded_U: Expanded uncertainty

  • effective_df: Effective degrees of freedom

  • coverage_factor: Coverage factor used

Examples

u1 <- uncertainty_component("A", 0.05, type = "A", df = 9)
u2 <- uncertainty_component("B", 0.03, type = "B")

measure_uncertainty(u1, u2)
#> $combined_u
#> [1] 0.05830952

#> $expanded_U
#> [1] 0.116619
#> 
#> $effective_df
#> [1] 16.6464
#> 
#> $coverage_factor
