Graphical abstract for the methodology and contributions in this work. Informative Bayesian Type A uncertainty evaluation and subsequent Monte Carlo propagation to obtain a state of knowledge distribution for the measurand is presented. If independent sampling from the marginal posterior πμ(m|x1, … , xm), cf. (1), is possible, plain Monte Carlo sampling can be used to sample from the posterior distribution for the measurand by combining samples from πμ(m|x1, … , xn) with samples from the Type B state of knowledge PDF πZ (z). The theoretical justification is given in Section 2 and practical examples are given in Section 3.
