Resource Library

This reference resource explores the use of clickers, or personal response systems, in the classroom. Main points of discussion include what clickers are, who is using them, what makes them unique, why they are considered significicant, the downsides, and teaching and learning implications.

This chapter of the NIST Engineering Statistics handbook "describes the terms, models and techniques used to evaluate and predict product reliability." It contains an introduction, discussions on the assumptions, and sections on reliability data collection and analysis.

This chapter of the NIST Engineering Statistics handbook "presents the background and specific analysis techniques needed to compare the performance of one or more processes against known standards or one another." It contains an introduction and information about comparisons with one process, two processes, and three or more processes or samples. Topics include outliers, trends, confidence intervals for means and proportions for one sample. Also included are materials on ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis tests, tests for equivalence of variances, variance components, chi-square tests for contingency tables and multiple comparisons.

This part of the NIST Engineering Statistics handbook contains case studies for the process or product monitoring and control chapter.

This part of the NIST Engineering Statistics handbook contains case studies for the process improvement chapter, which deals with design of experiments.

This chapter of the NIST Engineering Statistics handbook provides information on the proper design of experiments. It contains an introduction, a discussion of assumptions, a description of different design types, a discussion of the analysis of data, and case studies.

This chapter of the NIST Engineering Statistics handbook describes how to do a production process characterization study. It contains an introduction, discussion of the assumptions, information about data collection and analysis, and case studies.

This part of the NIST Engineering Statistics handbook contains case studies for the measurement process chapter.

This chapter of the NIST Engineering Statistics handbook describes the measurement process characterization with discussions of control, calibration, gauge studies, and uncertainty analysis, and a set of case studies.

This chapter of the NIST Engineering Statistics handbook describes Exploratory Data Analysis with an introduction, a discussion of the assumptions, a description of the techniques used, and a set of case studies.
