Hi, I have a very simple question related to the combination of two results that can, in general, be correlated.
It's natural to assume that combination C of two measurements A and B must be within the interval between the values A and B. Is this always true? On the other hand, two measurements A and B can be the values that are higher than the true value T. Then if the process of combination reduces the error or uncertainty of the measurement, the combined value C will get more close to the true value T and even may get outside the interval of the values between A and B. So which statement is the correct one? I would really appreciate any help on this problem. Thank you. . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
