Statistical analysis of experimental data and processes, and the design of experiments are increasingly critical in both research and industrial environments. The course will review the fundamentals of probability and statistics, common probability distribution functions, data analysis and model parameter estimation, including characterization of sources of error and uncertainty, least-squares fitting, parameter correlation, as well as formal design of experiments (DOE) methodology.
