Abstract:
|
In retrospect the journal Technometrics was destined. The great war had fully demonstrated the value of statistics applied to industrial problems. By 1959, widely scattered quality control groups had coalesced into the ASQC, the ASA had formed the Section of Physical and Engineering Sciences, and the Gordon Conferences on Statistics in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering had to ration attendance. There was no technical journal devoted to research in the arts of statistics adapted to the problems of industry and the need was obvious. This brief exposition will review the events and personalities of the day that led to Vol. 1, No. 1 of Technometrics.
