测量单个物理量的实验通常会根据相同的数据产生几个估计值，因此它们是相关的。我们描述了如何组合这些相关估计以提供最好的单一答案，以及如何检查相关估计是否相互一致。我们讨论了我们的技术的性质，并通过测量魅力粒子寿命的具体实验来说明它的应用。
Experiments to measure a single physical quantity often produce several estimates based on the same data, and which are hence correlated. We describe how to combine these correlated estimates in order to provide the best single answer, and also how to check whether the correlated estimates are mutually consistent.We discuss the properties of our technique, and illustrate its application by using it for a specific experiment which measured the lifetime of charmed particles.
