Statistical Test and Analysis Techniques (STAT) for T&E
Statistical test design optimization is the offspring of Design of Experiments (DOE) and is a method that can and should be used not only in the design and development of systems, but also in the modeling and validation of system of systems. Building useful prediction models and then validating them can ease the burden of making tough decisions. This tutorial will focus on the use of DOE and regression analysis in a wide variety of applications, from screening to modeling and on to validation testing. This presentation will start by addressing the basics of DOE and why it is different from other data analytic techniques, following it Multi-Domain Operations Workshop Optimizing the test & Evaluation Process for Multi-Domain Operations with examples that span the gamut, from flight test to cyber testing. It will also cover the necessary statistical tools and techniques that should be applied in consonance with DOE. There are no pre-requisites for this tutorial, as the analysis will be demonstrated via computer.
