Examples

# create an uncertainty budget

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

# estimate the measurand uncertainty using an uncertainty budget,
# a measurand definition and a selected estimating method.
GFO.res <- uncertainty(x = u.budget,
