The Precision of Measurements.

Kane, Michael

Applied Measurement in Education, v9 n4 p355-79 1996

This overview of the role of error and tolerance for error in measurement asserts that the generic precision associated with a measurement procedure is defined as the root mean square error, or standard error, in some relevant population. This view of precision is explored in several applications of measurement. (SLD)
