ESTIMATION OF MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY IN CHEMICAL ANALYSIS

This site offers an introductory course (as a MOOC) on the estimation of measurement uncertainty specifically related to chemical analysis (analytical chemistry). The course gives the main concepts and mathematical apparatus of measurement uncertainty estimation and introduces two principal approaches to measurement uncertainty estimation – the ISO GUM modeling approach (aa “bottom-up”  approach) and the single-lab…

Principal Component Analysis

This site provides an introduction to principal component analysis, beginning with a glossary of important terms before taking the reader through the process of completing a principal component analysis. One limitation to the site is its reliance on Minitab and SPSS for calculations. Users without access to these programs can reproduce the calculations using other software…

NIST Engineering Statistics Handbook

This site provides a comprehensive electronic handbook on statistics for scientists and engineers. Topics include graphical approaches for exploratory data analysis, the characterization of measurement processes, the construction of statistical models for predicting and/or optimizing process, experimental design, process control monitoring, significance testing and the evaluation of product reliability. Although the site may be too detailed…

Rice virtual lab in statistics

This site is devoted to statistical tests and demonstrations of their use and was created with the support of the National Science Foundation. One section is a complete reference guide - the online statistics textbook, with detailed descriptions of all things statistical. The second, and most fun section, is simulations/demonstrations section where nearly twenty statistical tests…
