Numerical evaluation of the multiple-pair method of calculating temperature from a measured continuous spectrum
Abstract:
When a measured spectrum is digitized and stored in the computer's memory, many pixel pairs can be used for color temperature evaluation. Although calculated color temperature for an individual pair can oscillate a lot, the average color temperature tends to be quite accurate if enough pairs (50-100) are used. The sensitivity of calculated mean color temperature to noise and linear variation of emissivity (as a function of wavelength) are described. It was found that the influence of noise is much greater than that of emissivity variations.

Interval Level of Measurement
Data measured using the interval scale are similar to ordinal level data because they have a definite arrangement. However, in the interval level of measurement, the differences between data values are meaningful even though the data does not have a starting point.
