Brad Evans, SPES Program Chair-Elect
The Physical and Engineering Sciences Section (SPES) will support four roundtables as part of JSM 2018. Roundtable discussions are a great way to network, share ideas, discuss topics of interest, and participate within the SPES and statistical communities. For 2018, the topics are the following:
- DOE: It’s not a one and done! Discussion will focus on design as part of sequential learning where the accumulated knowledge is based on scientific method and leads to greater collaboration and success.
- Go green, do good. Learn how you can support green engineering projects as a consultant or volunteer. Green science needs input from statisticians who understand algorithms and uncertainty.
- Have you always wanted to be a Bayesian? This roundtable focuses on practicalities for successful Bayesian implementation based on examples from the medical device industry.
- Sources of variation. Sure, “we” know what that means, but how do you extract this information from collaborators? This roundtable will focus on how to communicate this concept to project teams based on a broad understanding of the research problem. When successful, this leads to greater collaboration and places statisticians as critical team members.
