An Uncertainty Toolbox

An Uncertainty Toolbox (AUT) is a software tool for MATLAB, developed to perform uncertainty calculations in Measurement Science. The aim is to provide a simple and intuitive tool that allows to write compact and well understandable code. Initially, it was intended to be used in education only but it has been used more and more also in practical applications. AAU offers a campus license for MATLAB.

The toolbox includes three different approaches: Linearization, Monte Carlo(MC) and Unscented Transformation(UT). AUT is also intended to be useful for system analysis and optimization, provinding a simple way to switch between the aforementioned methods. Information about how to use AUT and some examples are available in the folders Documentation and Examples, respectively.
