Abstract:
|
Statistical engineering, as defined by Hoerl and Snee, has received a great deal of attention in journals and at conferences recently. So, what is statistical engineering? What are examples of this concept? Should statisticians be statistical engineers? What are the pros and cons? Is practicing statistical engineering good for my career? This roundtable luncheon will explore these questions and few more from the perspective of a statistical consultant with 13 years experience. The discussion will emphasize applications in quality, productivity, the physical and engineering sciences, and the financial industry. Come with your opinions and your case studies or attend to gain an introduction to the topic.
