| Introduction to Experimentation (2AS10) |
This is an elective Bachelor course for all students.
The course is part of a coherent elective package. This introductory course gives an introduction to experimentation and statistics by treating the scientific method
and its industrial counterparts. Students also learn to record research results in a reproducible way through literate reporting.

| Effectiveness of Mathematics (2WH10) |
| This is a kaleidoscope course for all students (but in practice mainly elected by mathematics students) taught by a larger number of mathematics instructors. Every week students are briefly introduced to another mathematics topic and are shown how mathematics can solve a specific problem. Together with Professor Remco van der Hofstad I teach the topic of collaboration graph analysis, in which we show how probability theory and statistics can be used to analyze graph data. As graph data, we chose the collaboration graph of mathematicians (cf. the Erdös Number Project) and show how with elementary statistics one can determine beforehand how large a random sample should be to obtain accurate results on the distance between mathematicians and the number of co-authors. |

Linear Statistical Models (2WS40) |
|
This is an elective Bachelor course for mathematics students.
The course gives an introduction to linear regression and Analysis of Variance. Both the linear algebra approach to linear statistical models and the practical regression analysis and modelling using statistical software are treated in detail.
The book is taught using the excellent introductory book by Bingham and Fry.
|
|
Advanced Statistical Models (2WS70) |
|
This is an advanced Bachelor course on Generalized Linear Models which may also be taken by Master's students. The responsible teacher is Professor Edwin van den Heuvel, I am responsible for the practicals, in particular the support using the statistical software R.
|
In order to facilitate student learning of statistical concepts,
I have been developing web-based software with the help of Marko
Boon (IT specialist and responsible for the Java implementations) and Emiel
van Berkum. We currently have the following software:

Quality Control in Production (1F200)
|
|
This was an introductory course on quality control for first-year management

|
Statistics 2 for Chemical Engineering (2DS01)
|
|
This was a short advanced course in statistical methods, with emphasis on analysis of
variance and design of experiments (fractional factorial designs, response
surface methods, mixture designs). We will try to link these subjects as much
as possible with recent developments in combinatorial chemistry and
high-throughput analysis. We use the web teaching tool Statlab
for interactively teaching DOE
. The course has been integrated into the course 6BV04.
|

process theory and kernel estimators.
|
| Statistical theory of Design of Experiments and Quality Improvement (2S320) |
| This was an advanced elective course for chemical engineering students in which advanced diagnostic of linear regression, Design of Experiments and Statistical Process Control was taught. |

|
Industrial Statistics (2WS02)
|
|
This was a course in the SPOR Master's

Dr. Lopuhaä of Delft
University taught the course with survival analysis as content.

Pratical Skills
Anorganic Chemistry (6BV04)
|
|
This is not a regular course, but a practical part of the chemical engineering
curriculum. The statistical theory of design of experiments is an integrated
part of this course. Students will directly apply basic principles of
experimental design to experiments that they must perform themselves. I taught
this course together with Koo Rijpkema. The
responsible teachers from the Chemical Engineering Department are
Christian Müller and Pieter Magusin. |
