Abstract
The paper discusses the feasibility of accounting for uncertainties of control measurements in
estimation of design margin factors. The feasibility is also taken into consideration
proceeding from the fact how much the processed measured data were corrected by a priori
calculated data of measurable parameters. The possibility and feasibility of such data
correction is demonstrated by the authors with the help of Bayes theorem famous in
mathematical statistics
