where k is the class index, ε i is the maximum systematic deviation, and
U i is the wind speed in bin i. Figure 6-4 is a plot of the accuracy curves
for different classes. For convenience, instead of curves describing
classes, often a single point is used, U i = 10 m/s, and accuracy is
then defined as percentage deviation in anemometer measurement in
