Applied Statistics for Engineers and Scientists
overview
In this course you will learn the fundamental concepts of applied statistics including descriptive statistics, confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, analysis of variance, regression analysis, and distribution fitting, and be able to apply them immediately to the problems that you encounter on the job. This will be accomplished by lectures that carefully explain each statistical technique and then illustrate it by one or more examples using real-world data. This is reinforced by an extensive number of in-class exercises that students perform using a calculator or Excel. Whether you are new to statistics or looking for a refresher course, you will find this seminar a great way to get up to speed quickly in a cost-effective manner.
Versions of this seminar have been presented to Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Navy (three times).
