Description
This course is designed for those faced with analyzing data from laboratories in support of R&D programs, pilot plant studies and commercial plant operations. Its purpose is to provide information concerning contemporary statistical methodology for individuals in the chemical process and allied industries as well as those in the health care and food fields. Emphasis is placed on the practicality and applicability of the techniques presented. You will have the opportunity to apply the principles learned to actual problems through the use of illustrative case studies under the guidance of the faculty. Personal computers are available to illustrate contemporary statistical packages. There will be opportunity for hands-on use during the lectures and especially in the workshops. The importance of graphical presentations of statistical results is emphasized. More complex statistical analyses and the statistical design of experiments are also presented in the “Beyond the Basics” section. The fifth day is of interest to those involved in process control.
