Upcoming online courses at statistics.com:
DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS: February 4 - March 4
QUEUEING THEORY: February 11 – March 11
DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS is taught by Dr. James Rutledge,
formerly a professor at the Air Force Academy, and now
President of Data Vision. This course covers how to use
experiments to gain maximum knowledge at minimum cost. For
processes of any kind that have measurable inputs and
outputs, Design of Experiments (DOE) methods guide you in
the optimum selection of inputs for experiments, and in the
analysis of results. Full factorial as well as fractional
factorial designs are covered. This course will stress the
application of DOE rather than statistical theory. The
techniques presented also apply to R&D, manufacturing,
quality control, and even marketing.
QUEUEING THEORY is taught by Dr. Frederick Wieland, Senior
Simulation Scientist at the Aegis Research Group. This
course covers the mathematics behind the queueing phenomena:
how different demand rates for a resource combine with the
resource’s ability to provide service to give rise to the
queueing phenomena we observe. It provides a firm foundation
in queueing analysis, optimization of queues, and design of
queueing systems.
In each course, participants will have access to a private
discussion board with the instructor, weekly lessons,
exercises and solutions. There are no set hours –
participate on a schedule that is convenient for you.
Estimated time required is 10+ hours per week.
