Abstract:
|
Many statisticians in industry have responsibilities to develop and deliver statistical training to different audiences, including engineers, scientists and business leaders. We'll talk about how we can make this training more effective including some common training myths to recognize. Some key questions that we'll discuss are: 1 - What are appropriate objectives for training? 2 - Based on the objectives, what training topics should be covered in an industrial training? 3 - What are good training techniques/methods/ approaches? 4 - How do you evaluate the effectiveness of training?
