Math 216: Statistics for Engineering

I wonder if the Poisson distribution (the one we used to model the arrival of trucks at a loading dock) would work for modeling "100-year" hurricanes.

This is a sister website of the very popular www.speedtest.net, which does many millions of internet download/upload tests every month. Aggregating that data across the world provides some pretty robust statistics on regional and national connectivity speed. You probably never knew South Dakota had the second highest average download rate in the country. http://www.netindex.com/download/2,1/United-States/ I'm guessing that's related to their cheap power and ample space in encouraging data centers to move in.

This is a branch of Computer Science, springboarded by my Computer Engineering major.

I know its not from the news but I couldn't resist. 50%: empirical 89%: subjective

So, so true...

This has something to do with that... http://joedullblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/usb-4th-dimension1.gif

Unfortunately, not good dataviz on this site, but some of the linked documents do have some charts and scatterplots

Mode choice is the step in the transportation planning process that determines the probability that travelers will choose different modes (transit, pedestrian, auto) to reach their destination

This seminal text explores in some detail the statistical nature of material failure and presents theory of stochastic analysis of such systems.  The statistical nature of fatigue failure is in fact a significant point of concern in design of mechanical structures that undergo repeated or alternating loading.

Statistics are used to compare sorting algorithms in computer science. The most commonly used way to do this is by analyzing their "Big O" value.
