Abstract:

The Statistical Engineering Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated in the summer of 2002 the development of a web application for statistical analysis in an effort to maximize both computing and human resources. The SED envisions this application will enable NIST scientists to gain access to a consolidated array of solutions (analytics) to routine problems in data analysis such as consensus means analysis, and linear calibration. Application areas that would benefit from such a system include Standard Reference Materials, Interlaboratory Studies, Key Comparisons, and Bayesian Metrology. Our objectives were to create a system that would (a) be easy to use--provides a common user interface to various analytics built on disparate engines (e.g., Dataplot and MATLAB) running on a single web server, (b) eliminate the need to learn specialized software products, (c) provide a mechanism for the transfer of statistical methodology, and (d) raise statistical competency of NIST scientists.
