Advantages(1) When the number of test position i > 9, the value of is lower(1) The calibration uncertainties of bias and scale factor is lower
(2) When the number of test position i > 20, the value of is lower(2) When the number of test position i < 9, the value of is lower
(3) The total test time is shorter(3) When the number of test position i < 20, the value of is lower
