Statistical Engineering is gaining interest as a rising discipline. While there is near universal agreement as to the necessity of this discipline, there is still much confusion surrounding the particulars. How should Statistical Engineering relate to Statistics? How should it relate to other similar disciplines, such as Data Science or Operations Research? The results of several weeks of...
Five months ago, ISEA (International Statistical Engineering Association) organized a webminar with the title: “What It Is, What It Is Not, and How it Relates to Other Disciplines”. I was invited to participate as a discussant, which forced me to think about the topic. The two excellent presentations and the ensuing discussion gave me new points of view. In this presentation, I summarize my...
Statistical modeling is, perhaps, the apex of data science activities in the process industries. These models allow analysts to gain a critical understanding of the main drivers of those processes to make key decisions and predict future outcomes. Interest in this field has led to accelerating innovation in the field of model development itself. There is a plethora of different modeling...
