Abstract
A method and apparatus processes data representing measured values which are liable to show a poor consistency. Measured values are formed in groups; an average value and a discreteness value of a first group of measured values are calculated; an average value is presented as a most appropriate value to a display only when the discreteness value is below a reference value; otherwise, an average value and a discreteness value of the first and additional groups of measured values are calculated, and the recalculation is continued until the discreteness value has come to be below a reference value which decreases with the number of additional groups of measured values of which an average value and a discreteness value are calculated. The average value is presented as a most appropriate value to a display when the discreteness value is below the reference value.
