This site offers an introductory course (as a MOOC) on the estimation of measurement uncertainty specifically related to chemical analysis (analytical chemistry). The course gives the main concepts and mathematical apparatus of measurement uncertainty estimation and introduces two principal approaches to measurement uncertainty estimation – the ISO GUM modeling approach (aa “bottom-up” approach) and the single-lab validation approach as implemented by Nordtest (a “top-down” approach). The course contains lectures, practical exercises and numerous tests for self-testing.
