I have a low tolerance for precise inaccuracy, though I’ve been in such situations more often than I care to admit. The upside is that it’s like an epiphany when awareness hits (or someone hits me ...

Precision can be defined as the closeness in agreement of results during a series of repeat measurements under presumed identical conditions. These results are often expressed as a standard deviation.

Students distinguish between accuracy and precision of measurements. Accuracy, Precision, and Significant Digits: Students distinguish between accuracy and precision of measurements and make ...

Purpose: The precision and accuracy of two blood glucose meters were evaluated using finger and forearm blood samples. Methods: Duplicate blood glucose measurements on the same forearm and finger as ...

It’s commonly said that the great thing about standards is that there are so many of them. Of course, that’s talking about competing standards. But there’s another kind of standard that you want a lot ...

Many people use the words “accuracy,” “precision,” and “resolution” as if they were synonyms, even though they are all very different. For example, datasheets for products as diverse as test & ...

Do you ever have to ensure that an exact amount of time passes between two tasks in your microcontroller code? Do you know what’s the difference between precision and accuracy? Today, [Jim Mack] tells ...

As any good Internet commenter will know, accuracy and precision are two subtly different things. But how do they differ, and why is it important? In fact, accuracy is a measure of closeness while ...
