Our knowledge about surroundings can be achieved by observations and measurements but both are influenced by errors (noise).
Therefore one of the first tasks is to try to eliminate the noise by constructing instruments with high accuracy. But any real observed
and measured system is characterized by natural limits due to the deterministic nature of the measured information. The present
work is dedicated to the identification of these limits. We have analyzed some algorithms for selection and estimation based
on statistical hypothesis and we have developed a theoretical method for their validation. A classic (non-quantic) algorithm for
observations and measurements based on statistical strategies of optical field is presented in detail. A generalized statistical strategy
for observations and measurements on the nuclear particles, is based on these results, taking into account the particular type of
statistics resulting from the measuring process also.
