Title: Computer Experiments: Some Knee-jerk Applications
Author(s): William I. Notz*+
Companies: The Ohio State University
Address: Department of Statistics, Columbus, OH, 43210-1247,
Keywords: Computer experiments ; prosthesis design
Abstract:

Computer experiments arise when complex computer code is used to model a physical phenomenon and experimentation is done on the code, either in addition to or in place of experimentation on the physical phenomenon. In this talk, some of the basic statistical issues that arise in computer experiments are described, some of the basic statistical methodology that has been used to design and analyze data from computer experiments is outlined, and the methodology in the design of hip and knee prostheses is illustrated. The prosthesis design problems also will serve as a context for the description of methods that have been developed to design and analyze data from computer experiments.
