Prediction & Tolerance Intervals; Measurement and Reliability” (May 30 - June 27) goes beyond the standard coverage of introductory statistics to cover topics important to practicing engineers. Prediction intervals, for example: an interval surrounding a single predicted value (as opposed to the confidence interval, which is typically surrounding a sample mean or other sample statistic). Participants will also learn to assess measurement error, and measurement system appraisal to determine whether measurement systems are in control. Measurement system appraisal is critical because the results of any statistical analysis will be compromised if there is substantial measurement error. Similarly, designed experiments (not covered in the course) can be seriously undermined when there is measurement error. The course will also cover life testing, accelerated life testing, and reliability testing. The instructor, Dr. Thomas P. Ryan, has over 25 years of teaching experience. He is the author of Modern Engineering Statistics, Statistical Methods for Quality Improvement, (3rd ed.), Modern Experimental Design, and other books, as well as an elected Fellow of the American Statistical Association, American Society for Quality, and Royal Statistical Society. He served on the Editorial Review Board of the “Journal of Quality Technology” from 1990 through 2006 and was the Book Review Editor of that journal from 2003 through 2006. Dr. Ryan is also the all-time record holder in the Weaver Stick lift (USAWA). Details and registration: statistics/engineering
