Abstract:

The word "complex" is often used in JSM abstracts and is then followed with word such as systems, samples, regression analysis, or the like. In this panel discussion three complex statistical case studies will be reviewed. These problems cannot be found in Chapter 5 of any statistical book and are from various parts of the public sector: market research, technology and manufacturing. Our panelists will focus on how to best utilize statistical theory for practical benefit in solving their complex challenges. A discussion about statistical engineering (the art of applying statistical and probabilistic methods and techniques supporting research and the production of standard reference materials) will solidify the discussion.
