Create Type B Uncertainty from Expanded Uncertainty

Source: R/uncertainty.R
uncertainty_type_b_expanded.Rd

Helper function to create a Type B uncertainty component from an expanded uncertainty value (e.g., from a certificate).

Usage

uncertainty_type_b_expanded(
  expanded_U,
  k = 2,
  name = "Type B",
  df = Inf,
  sensitivity = 1
)

Arguments

expanded_U

The expanded uncertainty value.

k

Coverage factor used for the expanded uncertainty.

name

Name for this uncertainty component.

df

Degrees of freedom (default Inf).

sensitivity

Sensitivity coefficient (default 1).

Value

An uncertainty_component object.

Examples

# From a calibrator certificate: U = 0.05, k = 2
u_cal <- uncertainty_type_b_expanded(0.05, k = 2, name = "Calibrator")
