Statistical Methods

The Statistical Engineering Division carries out research in statistical and probabilistic methods relevant to measurement science generally, and to the execution of NIST's mission specifically.  Some research highlights include:


Computational Biology:  Comparison of Cell Image Segmentation Algorithms

Functional Analysis of Variance

Uncertainty Estimation in Interlaboratory Studies

Statistical Methods in Waveform Metrology

Radiative Decay of the Neutron

Bayesian Statistical Estimation of Degrees of Equivalence for Key Comparison Experiments
