There are three main types of errors in measurement systems:
1) Gross errors are caused by human mistakes when using instruments, calculating measurements, or recording data.
2) Systematic errors occur due to faults in measuring devices and can include zero errors, observational errors from wrong readings, and environmental errors from changes in temperature or humidity.
3) Random errors are caused by sudden changes in experimental conditions from unknown causes and can include noise, resulting in measurements that need to be analyzed statistically.
The document discusses different types of errors that can occur in measurement. It describes gross errors, systematic errors like instrumental errors and environmental errors, and random errors. It also defines key terms used to analyze errors like limit of reading, greatest possible error, and discusses analyzing measurement data using statistical methods like the mean, standard deviation, variance and histograms. Measurement errors can occur due to issues like parallax, calibration, limits of the measuring device, and are analyzed statistically.
This document discusses uncertainties and errors in physical measurements. It explains that there are two types of errors - random errors which are unpredictable, and systematic errors caused by imperfect measuring equipment. Random errors can be reduced by repeating measurements, while systematic errors are reduced by calibrating equipment. Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value, while precision refers to how close repeated measurements are. The number of significant figures reported in a result should not exceed the least precise value used. The document also discusses determining and expressing uncertainties in measurements, and how to combine uncertainties when performing calculations or graphing data.
This document provides an overview of the DEE1012 measurement course. It outlines the course learning outcomes, which are to apply measurement principles and solve problems using measuring operations and theorems. The document then details several topics that will be covered in the course, including the measurement process, elements of a measurement system, types of errors, measurement terminology, characteristics of measurement, and standards used in measurement. Examples are provided to illustrate key concepts. References are listed at the end.
This document discusses measurement errors and standards. It defines key terms related to measurement accuracy and precision. Accuracy is the closeness of a measurement to the true value, while precision refers to the consistency of repeated measurements. Errors can be absolute or relative. Systematic errors are due to instrument flaws, while random errors have unknown causes. The document also discusses limiting/guarantee errors, which specify the maximum allowed deviation from a component's rated value. Resolution refers to the smallest detectable change in a measurement. Sensitivity is the change in output per unit change in input.
Absolute and relative error are two types of error that scientists should be familiar with. Absolute error is the physical error in a measurement, while relative error gives an indication of how good a measurement is relative to the size of the thing being measured. Absolute error is calculated as the amount of error, while relative error is calculated as the absolute error divided by the value of the thing measured. This allows comparisons of accuracy between measurements even if the absolute error is the same.

The document outlines methods to calculate propagation of errors and statistical treatment of error values.
This document discusses terminology and concepts related to measurement and error. It defines true value, accuracy, and precision. There are two types of errors - determinate (systematic) errors which have a known cause, and indeterminate (random) errors which cannot be determined. Accuracy refers to closeness to the true value while precision refers to reproducibility. The standard deviation allows for more variation in a sample compared to the population. When combining uncertainties from multiple measurements, relative uncertainties should be summed for multiplication and division, while absolute uncertainties are summed for addition and subtraction. Significant figures refer to the reliable digits in a measurement and rules govern how many are retained in calculations.

There are three main types of errors in measurement: gross errors due to human mistakes, systematic errors due to issues with instruments or environment, and random errors due to unknown causes. When quantities are calculated from multiple measurements, the total error is determined by combining the individual errors based on the calculation - for addition/subtraction it is the sum of the absolute errors, for multiplication/division it is the sum of the percentage errors, and for powers it is the power multiplied by the percentage error. Proper instrument selection, calibration, and accounting for errors can help reduce systematic and random errors.

I split the presentation for the unit into two, as I added so many slides to help with student questions and misconceptions. This one focuses on mathematical aspects of the unit.
This document discusses measurement errors and uncertainty. It defines measurement as assigning a number and unit to a property using an instrument. Error is the difference between the measured value and true value. There are two main types of error: random error, which varies unpredictably, and systematic error, which remains constant or varies predictably. Sources of error include the measuring instrument and technique used. Uncertainty is the doubt about a measurement and is quantified with an interval and confidence level, such as 20 cm ±1 cm at 95% confidence. Uncertainty is important for tasks like calibration where it must be reported.
Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value, while precision refers to the reproducibility of measurements. Accuracy is determined by calculating percentage error compared to the accepted value. Precision depends on the number of significant figures in a measurement as determined by the measuring tool. Random and systematic errors can affect accuracy, while random errors affect precision. The uncertainty of a measurement combines its precision and accuracy errors and is reported with the mean value and at a given confidence level, typically 95%. Propagation of error calculations allow determining the total uncertainty when a value depends on multiple measurements.
All physical measurements have an associated uncertainty that reflects errors involved. There are two types of errors - random errors which are out of the measurer's control and can be reduced through repeat readings, and systematic errors from instruments which can be reduced through calibration. The uncertainty is the smallest division on the instrument for systematic errors, and for random errors it can be determined from the range of repeat readings.

2.2 measurements, estimations and errors(part 2)Raechel Lim
Measurements and estimations involve uncertainty that arises from imprecision, random errors, and systematic errors. Numbers can be categorized as exact or approximate, with approximations involving uncertainty. Uncertainty must be expressed either implicitly by careful rounding or explicitly using ranges. Significant digits indicate the precision of measurements and estimations, and implied uncertainty ranges can be determined from them. When combining approximate values, answers must be rounded or expressed as ranges consistent with the least precise input to properly account for accumulated uncertainties.
This document provides an introduction to uncertainty measurements. It explains that there is always uncertainty involved when taking measurements as values can vary depending on factors like how, when and where something is measured. It describes the two main sources of uncertainty as random errors which are unpredictable, and systematic errors which are constant. The document then outlines the process for calculating uncertainty which involves taking multiple readings to determine standard deviation and uncertainty (Type A), and combining various uncertainty components from calibration certificates and manufacturers alongside sensitivity coefficients to determine combined and expanded uncertainty using a normal distribution with 95% confidence (Type B). It emphasizes that the process is the same for measurements in decibels or real numbers but the calculations are different.
This document discusses errors in measurement and different types of errors. It explains that there are five main elements that can cause errors: standards, work pieces, instruments, persons, and environment. There are three types of errors: systematic errors, which occur due to imperfections and are of fixed magnitude; random errors, which occur irregularly; and statistical analysis can be used to analyze random errors through calculations of mean, range, deviation, and standard deviation. Systematic errors include instrumental errors from faulty instruments, environmental errors from external conditions, and observational errors from human factors like parallax.
There are two main types of errors in measurement: systematic errors, which always produce results in the same direction, and random errors, which occur unpredictably due to various factors. The accuracy of a measurement indicates how close it is to the accepted value, while the precision refers to the agreement between multiple measurements of the same quantity. Taking the average of repeated measurements reduces the impact of random errors, but the uncertainty in any measurement must be reported using plus-and-minus values to indicate the possible variance.
The document discusses various concepts related to measurement and error including:
- Defining accuracy as closeness to the true value and precision as reproducibility of measurements.
- Types of errors such as determinate/systematic errors which can be corrected and indeterminate/random errors which average out with multiple trials.
- Assessing total error by treating a reference standard as a sample and calculating differences from the reference value.
- Expressing accuracy and precision using terms like mean, percent error, range, standard deviation, and percent coefficient of variation.
Every measurement has uncertainty that arises from limitations in measuring devices, techniques, and the inherent variability in what is being measured. There are several types of uncertainty: absolute uncertainty is the value given directly by the measurement; fractional and percent uncertainties relate the absolute uncertainty to the measured value. The proper method for determining the combined uncertainty when calculations are performed on measurements depends on whether values are added, subtracted, multiplied, divided, or raised to a power. Accounting accurately for uncertainty is crucial for scientific validity.
The document discusses secondary instruments used for measurement. It defines secondary instruments as those that must be calibrated by comparison with an absolute instrument or another calibrated secondary instrument. Secondary instruments are further classified as indicating, integrating, and recording instruments. Indicating instruments show the magnitude of a quantity, integrating instruments measure total quantity or energy over time, and recording instruments provide a continuous record of a quantity's variation over a period of time through pen tracings. The document also discusses concepts such as precision, accuracy, resolution uncertainty, types of errors including gross, systematic, and random, and the loading effect.
This document discusses the functional elements, static and dynamic characteristics, and errors in measurement instruments. It describes the key components of instruments including sensing elements, variable conversion/manipulation elements, and data presentation/transmission elements.

Errors can be gross, systematic including due to instruments and environment, or random. Statistical analysis is used to evaluate random errors in measurement data. Calibration against standards is important to ensure instrument accuracy.

The objectives are to understand instrumentation principles and learn basic measurement methods. The primary textbook will be Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements by Figliola and Beasley, along with class notes.
Errors in measurement come from three main sources: gross errors from human mistakes, systematic errors from instrument defects or environmental factors, and random errors from unknown causes. Systematic errors include instrumental errors from worn parts or friction and environmental errors from conditions like temperature or magnetic fields. Random errors occur even when systematic errors are addressed and can only be reduced by taking more readings and using statistical analysis.
This document discusses condition monitoring techniques used to assess the health of equipment. It defines condition monitoring as assessing equipment using measurements and monitoring of parameters. The key steps in condition monitoring are identifying critical systems, selecting monitoring techniques, setting baseline readings, collecting and assessing data, diagnosing faults, and reviewing the system. Common monitoring techniques discussed include vibration analysis, temperature monitoring, lubricant analysis, and visual inspection using tools like borescopes. Specific methods like ferrography, spectroscopy, and infrared thermography are also summarized.
Metrology is the science of measurement and its application by national metrology institutes to ensure measurements are fit for their intended purpose. It has three key activities: defining standard units of measurement, establishing reference measurements, and linking actual measurements to references. Metrology includes scientific, technical, and legal domains. It is important for manufacturing quality control and legal traceability. Advances in nanotechnology have led to the development of nano metrology. The objectives of metrology are to determine measurement needs, evaluate new instruments, standardize methods, and solve measurement problems. Measurement and inspection are necessary for product specifications, process monitoring, and interchangeability. Various measurement standards and instrument types exist for different applications.
There are three main types of errors in measurement instruments:
1. Gross errors are due to human mistakes like misreading or incorrectly recording data. They can be large errors and are avoided by taking multiple readings carefully.
2. Systematic errors are predictable and include instrumental errors from defects, environmental errors from external conditions, and observational errors from parallax or incorrect conversions.
3. Random errors are unpredictable and caused by unknown external factors affecting the measurement. They are also called residual errors.
The document discusses sources of errors in measurement. It identifies several potential sources including faulty instrument design, insufficient knowledge of the quantity being measured, lack of instrument maintenance, irregularities in the measured quantity, unskilled instrument operation, design limitations, and environmental factors like temperature changes. The types of errors are also categorized as gross errors from carelessness, systematic errors from instrument shortcomings and characteristics, and random errors. Methods to reduce errors include taking multiple readings, instrument calibration, recognizing systematic error causes, and controlling environmental conditions.
This document discusses different types of errors that can occur when measuring instruments are used. There are three main types of errors: gross errors, which are usually due to human mistakes; systematic errors, which include instrumental errors from device limitations, environmental errors from external conditions, and observational errors from parallax or incorrect readings; and random errors, which are due to unknown factors affecting the measurement. Specific examples of errors in permanent magnet moving-coil meters and moving-iron instruments are also described, such as temperature effects changing resistance or hysteresis causing inaccurate readings. Methods to minimize various errors, such as using materials with stable properties or shielding instruments, are also mentioned.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

3. • Instrumental Errors:
• Due to inherent shortcomings in the instrument:
Due to mechanical structure, construction,
calibration or operation of instruments.
• Due to misuse of instruments: Failure to adjust
zero of instruments, poor initial adjustments,
using leads of too high resistance.
• Due to loading effects of instruments:
4. Environmental Errors:
• Errors due to temperature effect, humidity, dust,
external magnetic or electrostatic field.
Corrective measures:
• Try to keep the conditions constant.
• Use material which is immune to these effects.
• Using techniques which eliminates these effects.
• use air conditioner
• sealing certain component in the instruments
• use magnetic shields
5. Observational error
- introduce by the observer
- most common : parallax error and estimation
error (while reading the scale)
• Eg: an observer who tend to hold his head
too far to the left, while reading the position
of the needle on the scale.
6. Random Errors
• Random errors in experimental measurements
are caused by unknown and unpredictable
changes in the experiment.
• These changes may occur in the measuring
instruments or in the environmental conditions.
Examples of causes of random errors are:
• electronic noise in the circuit of an electrical
instrument,
• irregular changes in the heat loss rate from a
solar collector due to changes in the wind.
11. Speed of response
It is defined as the rapidity with which an
instrument, responds to the changes in the
measured quantity.
• It shows how active and fast the system is.
• Speed measuring instruments:-
12. Fidelity
It is defined as the degree to which a
measurement system is capable of faithfully
reproducing the changes in input, without any
dynamic error.
13. Measuring lag
Every system requires its own time to respond to the
changes in input. This time is called as lag.
• It is defined as the retardation or delay, in the response
of a system to the changes in the input.
• The lags are of two types:
1. Retardation lag:
• As soon as there is a changes in the measured quantity,
the measurement system begins to respond.
2. Time delay:
• The response of the measurement system starts after a
dead time, once the input is applied. They cause
dynamic error.
14. Dynamic error
• It is the difference between the true value of
the quantity that is to be measured, changing
with time and the measured value, if no static
error is assumed.
