In 11 specially commissioned articles, engineers and statisticians explain how they collaborate to use statistical techniques to expand the tool kit for designing engines, demonstrating especially how statistically designed experiments can make a major contribution to meeting existing and future demands in engine development. They discuss modeling techniques, response surface methods, multi-stage models, neural networks, Bayesian methods, optimization, emulating computer models, genetic algorithms, on-line optimization, and robust engineering design.
