The journey to establish the discipline of statistical engineering

The journey to establish the discipline of statistical engineering Several journal articles, websites, and conferences have recently focused on the emerging discipline of statistical engineering. This discipline focuses on developing the theory and practice of how to address large, complex, unstructured problems, particularly those that require data and analysis. While good statisticians and engineers have always applied statistical engineering, they did not generally document the critical thinking they applied to resolve such big problems. In this sense, statistical engineering is not new, but the discipline of statistical engineering is. As a professional society, the International Statistical Engineering Association (ISEA) is even newer. This expository article explains the basics of statistical engineering: what it is, why it is needed, how it works, how it is unique, and so on. Furthermore, it provides a history of the development of statistical engineering going back to Churchill Eisenhart during the early years after World War II. It then discusses the origins and rapid development of ISEA as an international professional society devoted to the emerging discipline of statistical engineering. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry Wiley

Abstract

Several journal articles, websites, and conferences have recently focused on the emerging discipline of statistical engineering. This discipline focuses on developing the theory and practice of how to address large, complex, unstructured problems, particularly those that require data and analysis. While good statisticians and engineers have always applied statistical engineering, they did not generally document the critical thinking they applied to resolve such big problems. In this sense, statistical engineering is not new, but the discipline of statistical engineering is. As a professional society, the International Statistical Engineering Association (ISEA) is even newer. This expository article explains the basics of statistical engineering: what it is, why it is needed, how it works, how it is unique, and so on. Furthermore, it provides a history of the development of statistical engineering going back to Churchill Eisenhart during the early years after World War II. It then discusses the origins and rapid development of ISEA as an international professional society devoted to the emerging discipline of statistical engineering.
