Peter Goos wins Technometrics Ziegel Prize

Each year, the journal Technometrics offers an award to the authors of the best book reviewed in the journal during the last year. The award is named after Eric Ziegel, who was the Journal’s Book Review Editor from 1986 to 2006. The first Ziegel Prize was awarded in 2007. “Design of experiments is a powerful tool for understanding systems and processes….Our view is that optimal design of experiments is an appropriate tool in virtually any situation that suggests the possible use of design of experiments,” the authors Goos and Jones say in the book.

TI also congratulates Peter Goos for receiving the ‘Statistics in Chemistry Award’ for his article ‘A general strategy for analyzing data from split-plot and multistratum experimental designs’, co-authored with Steven Gilmour, and published in ‘Technometrics’. The Statistics in Chemistry Award was established by the American Statistical Association’s Section on Physical and Engineering Sciences to recognize outstanding collaborative endeavors between statisticians and chemists. The award was presented at the Joint Statistical Meetings on August 3, in Montreal, Canada.
