Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. The purpose of any analytical measurement is to get consistent, reliable and accurate data. There is no doubt that incorrect measurement results can lead to tremendous costs. In addition, reporting incorrect analytical results at any particular time leads to loss of a laboratory?s confidence in the validity of future results. Therefore, any laboratory should do its outmost to ensure measuring and reporting reliable and accurate data within a known level of confidence. Statistics is an integral part of quality assessment of analytical results. The concept of a frequency distribution, which embodies the behaviour of chance/random fluctuations, is essential for the description of many pertinent aspects of measurement. Statistical Inference based on the theory of probability and random variables, allows reliable conclusions to be drawn from data which are subject to error and variability. A quantitative measurement is always an estimate of the real value of the measure and involves some level of uncertainty. The limits of uncertainty must be known within a stated probability; otherwise no use can be made of the measurement. Analysis must be done in such a way that can provide this statistical predictability.This course is designed for those faced with analyzing data from laboratories in support of R&D programs, pilot plant studies, plant operations, hospitals, medical centres, municipalities, food manufacturers, environmental protection departments and independent laboratories. Its purpose is to provide information concerning contemporary statistical methodology for individuals in the chemical process and allied industries as well as those in the health care and food fields. Emphasis is placed on the practicality and applicability of the techniques presented. You will have the opportunity to apply the principles learned to actual problems through the use of illustrative case studies under the guidance of the instructor. The importance of graphical presentation of statistical results is emphasized. More complex statistical analyses and the statistical design of experiments are also presented. Through a combination of lectures and problem-solving sessions, you will learn new statistical techniques that you can put to immediate use in the workplace
