The Statistical Engineering Division is one of six technical divisions in the Information Technology Laboratory. The Statistical Engineering Division:
- Develops and applies best practices for the characterization of measurement uncertainty, in particular to enable the intercomparison of measurements in the context of interlaboratory studies and calibrations;implements methods and techniques for experimental design, data analysis, statistical modeling and probabilistic inference in computer software.
- Disseminates such methods and techniques throughout U.S. industry, and the scientific and academic communities at large, by publishing technical and educational materials in print and on-line, by offering training courses and workshops, and by participating in professional conferences.
- Conducts fundamental and applied statistical research on problems in metrology and collaborates on research in other Divisions of ITL, in other Laboratories of NIST and with NIST's industrial partners.
