3.7. Processing projects in batch mode

UncertRadio allows to evaluate several projects in a batch mode. This mode is invoked by the menu item Edit – Batch evaluation of projects which opens a dialog, like that one shown in section 5.6. Therein, a simple text file is selected, which contains the project filenames, line by line.

UncertRadio then starts the calculations, with or without MC simulation, and writes the results into an output file batch_out.csv (CSV format). For each evaluated project and each of its up to three output quantities, the filename is written, followed by a table of values for #EG, PE, uPE, BE, uBE, LQ, UQ, sLQ, sUQ, DT, DL. The column headers in the output file indicate their relation to the parts 1 and 2 of ISO 11929:2019.

Meaning of the symbols:

No. of the output quantity, primary value and uncertainty of the output quantity, best estimate and associated uncertainty, lower and upper quantile, lower and upper quantile with the shortest distance, decision threshold, detection limit.

In the case of MC simulation, a PNG graphics file is generated for each project and output quantity.

If MC simulation is selected, it may be recommended to use different batch list files, i.e., batch runs, for projects applying linear unfolding or not, because the MC simulation is much more time consuming for projects with linear unfolding.
