Data Analysis Techniques

Engineering Integrity Society

Wednesday, 28 June 2006

Catalis Conferencing, Derby

This one day conference is intended to provide an insight into data analysis techniques across all levels and includes an opportunity for delegates to bring their problems and difficulties to be discussed in an open forum as well as hearing how others have approached problems. The morning presentations are aimed at basic analysis techniques and understanding while the afternoon presentations will look at more advanced topics.

09:15-09:45 Coffee and Registration

09:45-10:00 Opening Remarks - Dr Barrie May, Consultant

10:00-10:30
Basic analysis procedures - David Ensor, MIRA

This presentation reviews some basic data analysis procedures and highlights errors that can arise from simple mistakes and incorrect interpretation of results

10:30-11:00 The myth of accuracy - Damian Harty, Prodrive

What are the considerations in determining the accuracy requirements for data analysis from both an application and economic points of view?

11:00-11:30 Coffee

11:30-12:00
Accessing data quality - Is my data any good? - Geoff Rowlands, nCode International

This presentation will show some techniques for assessing the quality of data, and will explain how to check that it is “fit for purpose”

12:00-12:30 Question and Answer forum

Have you any problems with analysing or interpreting data? If so bring them along and ask the presenters for their help

12:30-14:00 Lunch

14:00-14:30 Data analysis software verification - Dr Barrie May

14:30-15:00 To be confirmed

15:00-15:30 Tea

15:30-16:00 Analysis using spatial sampling - Dr Colin Mercer, Prosig

A look at the differences in analysing data collected by spatial sampling as compared to temporal sampling

16:00-16:30 Analysis of field data prior to deriving a simulation test in the laboratory
- Dr Colin Dodds, Dodds & Associates

This presentation will examine how we can implement a laboratory test, which will simulate the damage caused by the wheel loads originating from different proving ground tracks, on the rear suspension of a small car

16:30-16:45 Closing Remarks
