Description

Single resolution; last digit flat.

Its time is the lab system's result time: see Blood gas result time and Central lab result time.

Measurement space

-0.0500.05true minus recorded (mmol/L)density

A vertical slice through the measurement space: how the true value is spread around any one recorded value. Its shape is uniform.

Time

Its time side is still to be described.

Value

Model kind uniform: single resolution; uniform over the rounding interval
Resolution 0.1 mmol/L, nearest
Native step 0.1 mmol/L
Anchor nearest (convention)
