Information Technology Laboratory /Statistical Engineering Division

Boulder Group

The Boulder Statistics Group in the Statistical Engineering Division focuses on collaborations with NIST scientists in the Boulder, Colorado, campus.

The Boulder Statistics Group focuses on collaborations with NIST scientists in the Boulder, Colorado, campus, and with scientists in external institutions in the Boulder, Fort Collins, and Denver areas. The NIST collaborations emphasize applications of statistical methods in the physical sciences, including communications technology, electromagnetics, and neutron physics, and in the materials sciences, including reliability and related standard reference materials. The Group also conducts research in statistical methods for the assessment of measurement uncertainty, and for the combination of measurements in interlaboratory studies.

Advanced Microwave Radiometer Metrology

Ongoing
Using the NIST radiometer as a test bed, we studied the stability of temperature measurements for infrequent calibrations and developed stability metrics. We developed models to simulate output temperatures from the NIST radiometer, thus enabling the study of radiometer output without having to
YBITMvsRootModPred

Clutter Measurement

Ongoing
The Irregular Terrain Model (ITM) is a model for radio propagation that has been widely used for predicting the attenuation of a radio signal as a function of distance and the variability of the signal in time and in space. It was developed in the 1960 sand therefore does not fully utilize the

Critical Current Metrology

Ongoing
PML staff have completed the construction and testing of a variable-temperature and variable-strain, or unified, apparatus for measuring critical current. The apparatus combines world class capabilities in variable-temperature and variable-strain measurements and is expected to be the highest
Cardiac Leads

Metrology for Cardiac Leads

Ongoing
Quantifying cardiac lead reliability is not an easy task because of the vastly different conditions under which leads must operate under when installed in a human body. The committee is actively involved in many aspects of cardiac lead reliability including: gage repeatability and reproducibility
