Create Type B Uncertainty from Rectangular Distribution

Helper function to create a Type B uncertainty component from a rectangular (uniform) distribution, common for specifications or tolerances.

Usage

uncertainty_type_b_rectangular(half_width, name = "Type B", sensitivity = 1)

Arguments

half_width

The half-width of the rectangular distribution (a). Standard uncertainty will be a / sqrt(3).

name

Name for this uncertainty component.

sensitivity

Sensitivity coefficient (default 1).

Value

An uncertainty_component object.

Examples

# Temperature stability +/- 0.5 degrees
u_temp <- uncertainty_type_b_rectangular(0.5, name = "Temperature")
