Confidence in Analysis is an educational package, comprising a video and booklet, which looks at the way analysts establish confidence in the validity of their results. The video explains why it is important for analysts to be able to associate a level of confidence with their results. It follows through a complex multi-stage analysis from sampling to reporting, and shows how the (unavoidable) uncertainty in each stage can be estimated. The accompanying booklet deals with the principles which underlie measurement uncertainty, and provides more information on the practical aspects of estimating uncertainty.
