The values of input quantities are – of course – also subjected to probability distribution.

Therefore, an estimate of the measurand Y , denoted by y , is obtained

using input estimates x 1 , x 2

, ..., x

N for the values of the N input

quantities X 1

, X

, ..., X

Thus the output estimate y , which is the result of the measurement, is given by:

1 2 N y f ( x , x ,.....x ) =
