plot.summary.uncertainty {uncertainty}

Plots an uncertainty summary. It shows the uncertainty contribution from each involved 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.

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), dof=c(10,10),
	label=c("x[0]", "x[1]"), 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", method="GFO", alpha=0.05))

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

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