What You Will Learn
Learn how to apply the science of statistics to laboratory data
and chemical problems. Discover the tools needed to confidently
compare results from different labs, and determine if an instrument
or analysis is running within specification. Learn what the
terms significantly different, undetectable, indistinguishable,
and adequately sampled mean. Obtain an understanding of
fundamental statistical concepts, and the reasoning behind
the application of these concepts.
Who Should Attend
Chemists, technicians, managers, engineers, anyone responsible
for using statistical techniques to determine the quality and
reliability of analytical data, analytical methods, or
manufactured products. While the use of heavy mathematics
will be avoided, a knowledge of elementary algebra
would be very useful.

Instructor
Dr. Howard Mark consults in statistical and
chemometric data analysis, instrumentation software,
and near infrared analysis. He co-authored the well-known
column in Spectroscopy magazine,
Statistics in Spectroscopy, which was published
in book form. He continues as a regular columnist in
Spectroscopy magazine. Holding a Ph.D. in Chemistry
from New York University, he has published over 75 papers
and 2 books, and is internationally acknowledged for his
work in the application of statistics and chemometrics.
Dr. Mark has been teaching this topic for over 15 years.
