In uncertainty: Uncertainty Estimation and Contribution Analysis

Plots an output quantity's uncertainty summary. It shows the uncertainty contribution from each involved input quantity

Description

Builds a barplot with a bar for each source of uncertainty. If correlation is present then an additional entry is added. The current metric used to display is When correlation is present its contribution may be negative.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'summary.uncertainty'
plot(x, y = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x	an uncertainty summary object
y	not used.
...	additional parameters to customize the plot

Details

none

Value

None (invisible NULL)

Note

Examples

# create an uncertainty budget
cor.mat <- matrix(c(1, -0.7, -0.7, 1), 2, 2)

u.budget <- uncertaintyBudget(x = list(name = c("x0", "x1"), 
	mean = c(10, 20), u = c(1, 5), unit = c("kg", "kg"), dof = c(10, 10),
	description = c("measurand mass", "sample mass"),
	label = c("x[0]", "x[1]"), type = c("A", "A"), distribution = c("normal", "normal")), 
	y = cor.mat)

# estimate the measurand uncertainty using an uncertainty budget,
# a measurand definition and a selected estimating method.
GFO.res <- uncertainty(x = u.budget, 
y = list(measurand_name = "ratio.GFO",
         measurand_label = "ratio[GFO]", 
         measurand_model = "x0/x1",
	 measurand_description = "ratio of masses at 20 degrees celsius",
         method = "GFO", alpha = 0.05))

# create an uncertainty summary object
GFO.sum <- summary(GFO.res)

# display the chart
## Not run: plot(GFO.sum)
