Topic

Baselines and Models: Duh, I Don’t Get It!

Diane Mizukami-Williams, Northrop Grumman Mission Systems

People get frustrated when they attend presentations on baselines and models and they are only taught WHAT you are required to do for baselines and models, but are not taught HOW to create baselines and models, which is where people struggle. This presentation will show how to use statistical analysis to determine the right number of baselines and how to create a useful model.

Diane received a Top 10 Presenters award for this topic at the 2009 SEPG conference.
