Linear measurement types, instruments and common errors. However, there are measures for estimating uncertainty, such as standard deviation, that are based entirely on the analysis of experimental data when all of the major sources of variability were sampled in the collection of the data set. This should be confirmed further by checking the validity and reliability.
