function of quantities, the value of which, when calculated using known quantity values for the input quantities in a measurement model, is a measured quantity value of the output quantity in the measurement model

NOTE 1 If a measurement modelh(Y, X₁, …, X_n) = 0 can explicitly be written as Y = f (X₁, …, X_n), where Y is the output quantity in the measurement model, the function f is the measurement function. More generally, f may symbolize an algorithm, yielding for input quantity values x₁, …, x_n a corresponding unique output quantity value y = f (x₁, …, x_n).

NOTE 2 A measurement function is also used to calculate the measurement uncertainty associated with the measured quantity value of Y.
