The 44th Annual Fall Technical Conference will be held at the Marriott City Center in Minneapolis.
Presentations range from statistical theory and methods to quality control to case studies.
Application focuses on the chemical and process industries and the physical and engineering sciences. Speakers from NIST will kick-off the conference Thursday morning, followed by a celebration of Deming by Ron Snee on Friday morning. Topics include censored data, nonparametric estimation, probability plotting, maximum likelihood estimation, likelihood-based confidence intervals, acceleration models, accelerated life testing, and accelerated degradation testing. Basics of Designed Experiments by Lynne Hare. This course will introduce the fundamental statistical thinking required for effective experimentation, including necessary iteration between deductive and inductive reasoning, knowledge building, requirements for effective designs, randomization and blocking and the sequential approach to problem solving.
