Summary

The Statistical Engineering Division seeks opportunities to collaborate with NIST staff on research projects where optimal experiment design, statistical modeling, and data analysis can play a significant role in improving measurement processes and gaining scientific insight. SED also provides general statistical consulting services to NIST scientists working in all aspects of NIST's mission.

Description

Description: 

Specific SED contributions include:

  • Leadership in the establishment of a high standard of statistical practice within NIST via interactions with technical staff, publications, workshops, and seminars.
  • Design and analysis of experiments, and evaluation of measurement uncertainties for the NIST Standard Reference Materials (SRM) and Calibration Programs.
  • Design and analysis of experiments, and evaluation of protocols and processes associated with NIST scientific endeavors.
  • Support of NIST industrial clients engaged in the design and analysis of experiments.
  • Development of statistical and probabilisitic models for physical science and engineering applications.
  • Development of statistical methodology to enhance collaborative research with other NIST laboratories.
  • Advancement of statistical methodology via development of algorithms and software.
