Estimation of Measurement Uncertainty in Chemical Analysis

The student who has successfully passed the course knows
- the main concepts related to measurement results and measurement uncertainty, including their application to chemical analysis;
- the main mathematical concepts and tools in uncertainty estimation;
- the main measurement uncertainty sources in chemical analysis;
- the main approaches for measurement uncertainty estimation.
The student who has successfully passed the course is able to
- decide what data are needed for uncertainty estimation, understand the meaning of the available data and decide whether the available data are sufficient;
- select the uncertainty estimation approach suitable for the available data;
- quantify the uncertainty contributions of the relevant uncertainty sources using the available data;
- carry out estimation of uncertainty using the main approaches of uncertainty estimation

1. The concept and origin of measurement uncertainty. The basic concepts and tools (distribution functions, standard uncertainty, A and B type uncertainty estimates). Principles of measurement uncertainty estimation (random and systematic effects and definitions for precision, trueness, accuracy). Overview of the measurement uncertainty estimation approaches. The ISO GUM modeling approach. The single lab validation approach. Comparison of different approaches.	26	Ivo Leito, Irja Helm

The students who have successfully passed the course will be issued a certificate of completion by the University of Tartu.
A digital certificate of completion is free of charge. Please read the technical requirements for downloading and opening the digitally verified document: https://ut.ee/en/digital-continuing-education-certificates

A certificate of completion on paper can be requested for a fee of 61 euros (incl. all taxes). The basis of payment for the certificate on paper is the invoice issued by the university. The certificate will be sent out after the receipt of payment.
Please order the certificate on paper only when you are ready to pay fee of 61 euros!
We don't give both - digital and paper certificate.

If you would like to get a paper certificate, please provide us with this information before the end of the course by e-mail: Esta.pilt@ut.ee.

Web-based course in Moodle.

Totally web-based course in Moodle environment.

Successfully completing the course means that all graded tests are taken successfully.

differentiated (A, B, C, D, E, F, not present)

At the end of each week there will be a graded interim test (in the Moodle environment), which will be counted for assigning the final grade.

All 6 graded tests have to be taken and with each graded test the score has to be equal to or higher than the threshold (the threshold is indicated with each test). The final score will be formed by weighted summation of scores of all graded tests. The weight factor of every test (percentage from final score) is given together with each test.
