编辑同志:对不确定度的分类、处理和表述历来有许多争论,各方面使用的方法多种多样,比较混乱,而这又是误差理论在应用中的一个重要问题。近年来国内外都十分注意这一问题的解决,进行了不少努力,并已取得了重要的进展。1977年,中国计量科学研究院已经注意到此问题的重要性,并召开了一次全国性的误差学术会议进行讨论。同年,国际计量委员会根据美国国家标准局局长安布勒的提议,决定在国际计量局成立一个研究有关评价测量结果的不确定度问题的工作组。1978年2月,国际计 Editorial Comrades: There has always been a lot of controversy over the classification, handling and presentation of uncertainties.

In recent years, both domestic and foreign countries have paid great attention to the solution to this issue and have made great efforts and have made important progress. In 1977, China Institute of Metrology has noticed the importance of this issue and held a national error academic conference for discussion.
