.Credibility.Types.UniformTolerance

Information

An uncertainty describing possible value of the uncertain scalar by a uniform distribution, i.e. the probability of value outcome is equal between the limits which are given by a nominal value and an interval. See also BaseUncertainty uncertainty for general information.

Similarly to IntervalTolerance, this description utilizes:

• nominal: nominal value of the scalar. Typically, the nominal value is used as default for the actual parameter value.
• relTol: relative tolerance of limits with respect to nominal (default = 0.0).
• absTol: absolute tolerance of limits with respect to nominal (default = 0.0).

Utilizing this information, the lower and upper values of the underlaid uniform distribution can be computed in the following way:

tol = max(absTol, relTol * |nominal|),
lower = nominal − tol,
upper = nominal + tol.
