A measurement result is never absolutely accurate: it is affected by an unknown “measurement error” which characterizes the discrepancy between the obtained value and the “true value” of the quantity intended to be measured. As a consequence, to be acceptable a measurement result cannot take the form of a unique numerical value, but has to be accompanied by an indication of its “measurement uncertainty”, which enunciates a state of doubt. What, though, is the value of measurement uncertainty? What is its numerical value: how does one calculate it? What is its epistemic value: how one should interprete a measurement result? Firstly, we describe the statistical models that scientists make use of in contemporary metrology to perform an uncerta...
