Source sentences:
text: Measurement begins with a definition of the quantity that is to be measured, and it always involves a comparison with some known quantity of the same kind.
text: The bust size, bust line measure, or over-bust measure is the measurement around the torso over the fullest part of the breasts, with the crest of the breast halfway between the elbow and shoulder, usually over the nipples, ideally while standing straight with arms to the side and wearing a properly fitted bra.
text: If the object or quantity to be measured is not accessible for direct comparison, it is converted or “transduced” into an analogous measurement signal.
text: When a quantity is measured, the outcome depends on the measuring system, the measurement procedure, the skill of the operator, the environment, and other effects.
text: Most measures of dispersion have the same units as the quantity being measured.
text: One may assume that the quantity being measured is stable, and that the variation between measurements is due to observational error.
text: In the biological sciences, the quantity being measured is seldom unchanging and stable, and the variation observed might additionally be intrinsic to the phenomenon: It may be due to inter-individual variability, that is, distinct members of a population differing from each other.
text: In simpler terms, given a set of data points from repeated measurements of the same quantity, the set can be said to be accurate if their average is close to the true value of the quantity being measured, while the set can be said to be precise if the values are close to each other.
text: Calibration involves additional assumptions about the instrument, the calibrating apparatus, the quantity being measured and the properties of measurement standards (Rothbart and Slayden 1994; Franklin 1997; Baird 2004: Ch. 4; Soler et al. 2011).
text: The coherence criterion may be viewed as a conjunction of two sub-criteria: (i) coherence of model assumptions with relevant background theories or other substantive presuppositions about the quantity being measured; and (ii) objectivity, i.e., the mutual consistency of measurement outcomes across different measuring instruments, environments and models (Frigerio et al.
text: Without some minimal substantive assumptions about the quantity being measured, such as its amenability to manipulation and its relations to other quantities, it would be impossible to interpret the indications of measuring instruments and hence impossible to ascertain the evidential relevance of those indications.
text: From a realist, “error-based” perspective, the outcomes of these measurements are accurate if they are close to the true value of the quantity being measured—in our case, the true ratio of the object
