Abstract :
Inter-laboratory measurement comparisons can benefit from explicit graphical presentation of their probability density functions (PDFs). It is now as easy to create and manipulate these graphs as it is to use traditional error bars. These graphs improve clarity and generality when discussing uncertainties and their associated assumptions.
