Quality quandaries: Experiencing the practice of statistics with simple experiments

Journal Article Hamada, Alexandra J. ; Hamada, Christina A. ; Hamada, Masaru ; ... - Quality Engineering

This article illustrates the practice of statistics through simple experiments. In running ex- periments that involve blowing bubbles, collecting rain, and spinning propellers, issues arise that in the practice of statistics require being carefully addressed to correctly apply statisti- cal methods. Addressing these issues involves developing statistical models, simulation, and optimization. Sometimes the solutions require research, i.e., applied research.

Discussion [of ``The use of conditional simulation in nuclear-waste-site performance assessment`` by Carol A. Gotway]

Journal Article Downing, D J - Technometrics

EPA 40 CFR 191.16 (EPA 1985) states in part that the disposal systems should be designed to provide reasonable expectation that for 1,000 years after disposal, undisturbed performance of the disposal system shall not cause radionuclide concentrations to exceed specified limits. The question is how can one, with the tools that one has today, establish with some degree of confidence that a requirement like that just given will be achieved? Over the last several years, this has been demonstrated through the use of simulation analysis of the system being studied. An example of such a study on nuclear reactor criticalitymore »« less

MeSH key terms for validation and annotation of gene expression clusters

Conference Rechtsteiner, A ; Rocha, L M

Integration of different sources of information is a great challenge for the analysis of gene expression data, and for the field of Functional Genomics in general. As the availability of numerical data from high-throughput methods increases, so does the need for technologies that assist in the validation and evaluation of the biological significance of results extracted from these data. In mRNA assaying with microarrays, for example, numerical analysis often attempts to identify clusters of co-expressed genes. The important task to find the biological significance of the results and validate them has so far mostly fallen to the biological expert whomore »« less

Mexico City air quality research initiative, volume 3, modeling and simulation

Technical Report Mauzy, A

The objective of the modeling and simulation task was to develop, test, and apply an appropriate set of models that could translate emission changes into air quality changes. Specifically, we wanted to develop models that could describe how existing measurements of ozone (O{sub 3}), carbon monoxide (CO), and sulfur dioxide (SO{sub 2}) would be expected to change if their emissions were changed. The modeling must be able to address the effects of difference in weather conditions and changes in land use as well as the effects of changes in emission levels. It must also be able to address the effectsmore »« less

Quality quandaries: Combining engineering and statistics to assess the probability of an event

Journal Article Vance, Marion W. ; Margevicius, Kristen J. ; Hamada, M. S. - Quality Engineering

Our article illustrates how to combine engineering and statistical models and propagate the distributions of model inputs to estimate the probability of an event with uncertainty.
