* A Measurement object is used for maintaining the tuple of value,
* error, unit and time-stamp. The value and error are represented as doubles
* and the time is measured in milliseconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC.
*
*
* Mathematic methods are provided that correctly calculate taking the error * into account. A runtime error will occur when two measurements are used in an * incompatible way. E.g., when a speed (m/s) is added to a distance (m). The * measurement class will correctly track changes in unit during multiplication * and division, always coercing the result to the most simple form. See * {@link Unit}for more information on the supported units. * *
* Errors in the measurement class are absolute errors. Measurement errors * should use the P95 rule. Actual values must fall in the range value +/- error * 95% or more of the time. * *
* A Measurement object is immutable in order to be easily shared.
*
*
* Note: This class has a natural ordering that is inconsistent with equals. See
* {@link #compareTo}.
